I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Blistering performances.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Leila Roine is getting married to engineer Lauri Honkatie in a few hours.There are a couple of obstacles in the way, though.His old fling, Asta Jokimaa appears and wants him back.And so does her old boyfriend, poet Esko Raide.Asta convinces Leila that Lauri is unfaithful, so she decides to run off with Esko all the way to Petsamo.In the same train are also Lauri and Asta.Morsian Yllättää (1941) is an oldie directed by Valentin Vaala.Its leading star is the wonderful Lea Joutseno.Reino Valkama portrays her father, Doctor Arijoutsi Roine.Eine Laine is the mother Lulu.Tauno Majuri plays Lauri.Olavi Reimas is Esko.Hanna Taini portrays Asta.Kaija Rahola is Mirjami Savonen.There is a good atmosphere in this movie.It gives you that old feeling.The song that's sang in the movie, "Seitsemän Tuntia Onnehen", is most delightful.Throughout the movie the viewer is wondering will these two get married.Anyone who has ever seen a few romantic comedies knows the answer to that.
