The Tragedy of Elina 1/11

The Tragedy of Elina (Elinan surma, 1938) is based upon an old ballad and a play by Gustaf von Numers. It was directed by Kalle Kaarna, starring famous Finnsh theatre diva Ella Eronen as Kirsti Fleming.

THE PLOT is set in medieval Finland: Young and innocent maid Elina is persuaded into forgetting her childhood sweetheart, Uolevi, and to marry Klaus Kurki, a local nobleman with money and influence. An ideal match according to her family (lesser nobility) and the greedy parish priest, but all is not as it seems: Kurki is a vicious man, tormented by the spirit of his last wife, Kaarina Fleming...

WARNING: This is something for people who like unintended humour and "camp".

Loistava leffa :). Kiitoksia paljon!

Are you Finnish? Thanks a lot for uploading this little gem :)

We live just off Klaus Kurjen tie (road) Vesilahden Narvasssa - where this is supposed to have "happened".
