Opettajatar seikkailee

Leena Katajamaki is young but strict history teacher to a group of girls.Then they all go and spend a day on an island.But there happens to be also a man named Pertti Rinne, a bearded artist.He spies on the pretty teacher and paints her portrait- with her completely naked on the picture.She ends up spending a night with the artist on the island.The next day she finds the painting in an art gallery of the school.She has to get it from there, so she steals it.Also three simple crooks and two simple policemen are involved in the story.Opettajatar Seikkailee (1960) is a comedy directed by Aarne Tarkas.It's produced by Toivo Sarkka and the composer of music is Jaakko Salo.The movie did good back then.Many people went to see it.Leni Katajakoski has got both the looks and the talent for the part of Leena, or "Tantta" as her students call her.Tommi Rinne is just the right guy to play Pertti the artist, with and without the beard.Pirkko Mannola is marvelous as Ritva Laakso.Leo Jokela is hilarious as Arska.And so is Risto Makela as Ville.Those characters were seen for the first time in this movie.Aarne Laine is great as Eetu.Uljas Kandolin and Hannes Hayrinen make their second appearance as the funny policeman couple, Chief Constable Salomon Koukku and Constable Ripatti.Siiri Angerkoski is fantastic as Mrs. Noponen.Paavo Hukkinen is terrific as Anselmi Peltonen.And so is Pia Hattara as Matilda Peltonen.Irma Seikkula portrays Maisteri Tyynela.Toivo Makela is Maisteri Petaja.Pentti Viljanen is Paatero.Liana Kaarina plays Schoolgirl.Laila Rihte is seen as Mari.Esko Salminen, who turned 70 a week ago, plays a boy.This movie made me laugh, and that's the most important thing when you're watching a comedy.Like when Leena has stayed in the island together with the artist, and he makes her share the tent with him by making those animal sounds to make her scared of sleeping outside.It's awfully funny when those two escape from the cops and they're invited to a society party.There they have to deal with the coffee and the cake problem, handcuffed to each other.The movie is 50 years old now.Some might call it aged, I would call it funny.
