Review of Vaimoke

Vaimoke (1936)
8/10
Palo, Ikonen and Vaala won't let you down
2 March 2006
"Kaikki Rakastavat" (1935) was so successful with the leading couple Ansa Ikonen and Tauno Palo that when Valentin Vaala had a new script to direct - based on already popular novel by Hilja Valtonen - there was no lack of clarity who would be playing the leading parts.

"Vaimoke" is an excellent example of movie making at the time. As the hard times were just to come the main genre became romantic farce and it kept its position all along till our time. Even though this happy comedy isn't the most aggressive type like the clearest masterpieces it's really enjoyable to see the good work of the most celebrated movie figures ever in Finland. Even the smaller parts are full of stars to come!
