A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Linnaisten Vihreä Kamari from 1945 is an old fashioned ghost story directed by Valentin Vaala.The movie is based on the story by Zacharias Topelius from 1859.I have read it and this movie version works quite fine.Regina Linnanheimo is wonderful in her part as Anna Littow.And so is Kaija Rahola as her sister Ringa.Rauli Tuomi is brilliant as Kaarle Lithau.Paavo Jännes does steady job as Jaakko von Littow.Eine Laine is great as Mrs. Winterloo.And so is Reino Valkama as Eisebius Winterloo.Arvo Lehesmaa plays Ltn. Weder.Horror isn't a genre that has been done too often in Finland.This may not be all that scary to the modern viewers but the atmosphere is right there.

Valentin Vaala's problem as a film maker was usually the way he mixed up many different genres in one movie. So it happens this time."Linnaisten vihreä kamari" could be a scary horror movie, astonishing melodrama or a biting social critique. Instead it takes a small step towards all of them and it's exciting scenes are spoiled with comedy and dramatic ones would need more backing through the storyline.Anyway acting is great and the script holds the story amazingly well. The setting needs also a fine word as the film came out right after the WW2.Good work tough Vaala made some better ones at the time.
