Tulitikkuja lainaamassa

I've seen this movie at least 7 times still enjoying it. Especially Aku Korhonen as Antti Ihalainen is just adorable. This is also a popular drama held in Finnish summer theaters which usually take place outside located in beautiful or historical places all over the Finland.

Ester Toivonen (as Maija-Liisa Ihalainen) was known first as Miss Finland 1933 and Miss Europe 1934 elected in the UK. She acted in 14 movies between 1934-1943 and was even offered a contract in Hollywood but somehow she refused it. Ester Toivonen was the first Miss Finland who acted in a movie and many others have been followed her. Usually they acted only in one movie in a minor roles having perhaps few lines. Ester Toivonen was a real actress.
