An orphan girl becomes the janitor of a school, where the headmaster notices her.Neiti Talonmies (1955) is directed by William Markus and it's based on the novel by Hilja Valtonen, written the previous year.The main star Nelly Anita Lovén appeared only in two movies, which is a surprise to me.She does a very nice job as Irja Katriina Sassi here, so one would assume she had a long movie career.In Tauno Palo we can always trust, also this time as he plays Rehtori Kuusi.Kirsti Ortola, who became Palo's wife, plays the part of Ansu.Asta Backman is Opettajatar.Heimo Lepistö plays Räätäli Tirronen while Saara Ranin is Tirroska.Juhani Kumpulainen is Opettaja Lukkari.I recently saw this movie on a VHS.It has some nice comedic moments, like when Kuusi walks in as Irja is taking a shower.He sees awfully lot of ms. janitor there! And those times she's writing in her diary I did enjoy.
