Storyline
Featured review
Pentti Siimes and the hazards of drinking
Young Paavo is becoming a father for the first time.This makes him take a drink for the first time, and a few more.He celebrates with his father-in-law and some others.But they learn that drinking isn't good when they're at the bedside of Paavo's wife who has just given birth.Esikoismalja (1953) is written by Arvo Turtiainen.Its producer is T.J. Särkkä and cinematography is by Osmo Harkimo.The beloved actor Pentti Siimes does the lead as Paavo.The young Siimes brings some comedy in the whole thing.Elvi Saarnio and Heimo Lepistö as the parents-in-law also bring a smile on your face.Keijo Komppa is great as Pekka.Juhani Kumpulainen is terrific as Kalle.Marjatta Kallio is wonderful as Liisa- Paavo's wife.This short film shows us the hazards of drinking, how it can take all your life savings.Sure it may seem a bit naive to the modern viewer, but to me it's not a problem.A problem is that nobody seems to learn anything from these movies.People still go on drinking like it's the best thing in the world.
