Filmi filmistä

An absolute splendid cultural documentary, directed by Veikko Itkonen (1919-1990), about a day at a film rental agency in the autumn of 1949. Celluloid film reels are being shipped around Finland as express deliveries. Sometimes things go askew: "The Happy Widow did not arrive, send over Blood and Gold!" The documentary also includes an interesting piece on the activities of the Finnish Board of Film Classification 64 years ago. (Tampere Film Festival)
