| User ReviewTapani MVery good depiction of Rautavaara, Helismaa and other performing artists of that time. Their music is very well know for most people in Finland. It also tells about the time when TV came and hypnotized people in it's eerie blue light - social events like dances and concerts didn't pull in the crowd anymore. Best film of Koivusalo. |
| User ReviewAnu KIhan menettelevä. Hyvä musiikki. Liinojan roolisuoritus Tapsa Rautavaarana ei oikein vakuuttanut. |
| User ReviewKalle SKoivusalon henkiloelokuvista paras ja kiehtovin. Ei mikaan syvallinen tarina, vaan enemmankin elokuvamuodossa esitetty dokumentti fiktiivisilla hoysteilla. Suosalo Helismaana ja Nousiainen Pakarisena hyvat rooleissaan. Liinoja Rautavaarana kohtuullinen. |
| User ReviewJukka Kehkä paras koivusalo, ja sekin suosalon ansiosta. |
| User ReviewPirjo Saika tylsahko¶ historiikki suomen menneista viihdetaiteilijoista. Leffan pelastaa Suosalon esittama Repe Helismaa, joka aina plajayttaa riimia, kun sita tarvitaan. Esa Pakarinen naytellaan surkeasti eika Patkassakaan oikein ole aitoutta. Mutta ihan kelpo leffa suomalaiseksi, mutta olisihan tasta saanut viela paremmankin... |
