Johan (film)
''Johan'', also known as ''Troubled Waters'' or ''Rapids of Life'', is a 1921 Swedish film directed by Mauritz Stiller, based on the 1911 novel ''Johan'' ''(Juha)'' by Juhani Aho. It tells the story of a young girl, married to an older farmer, who elopes with a handsome stranger, crossing dangerous rapids on a small boat in the process. Synopsis In a remote place of Sweden, men working on the digging of a canal to dry up a marsh are housed in the nearby farms. In one of them live Johan and his mother together with a young girl, Marit. One of the workers tries unsuccessfully to kiss her. Some time later, while Johan is out floating timber on the other side of the river, he falls and crushes his leg. He lights a fire that Marit sees from the house. She crosses the river on a rowing boat and carries him back home and takes care of him. On his sick-bed, he asks her to be his wife. She accepts it quite unresponsively. Johan's mother is determined to avoid what she sees as a misallia ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Johan (band)
Johan is a Dutch band fronted by singer/guitarist Jacco de Greeuw. Their music has been primarily influenced by bands such as The Beatles, Crowded House, and The Byrds. Biography Jacco de Greeuw founded Thank God For Us in the late eighties, after having played in several other bands. The band was renamed Little Mary Big when joined by Marike Groot. With this band, he reached second place at the ''Grote Prijs van Nederland'', an important music competition in the Netherlands. However, arguments with female vocalist Marike Groot (who later appeared on '' Always...'', the debut album of The Gathering), forced them to break up the band. De Greeuw formed a new band named Visions of Johanna after a Bob Dylan song. In 1992 they competed once again in the ''Grote Prijs'' competition, reaching the semi-finals this time. After some changes in the line-up, the band signed a contract with Excelsior Recordings in 1995 and released a single ("Swing"). One year later, in 1996, the band's na ...

Jo-Han
Jo-Han was a manufacturer of plastic scale promotional model cars and kits originally based in Detroit. The company was founded in 1947 by tool and die maker John Hanley a year before West Gallogly's competing company AMT was formed and about the same time as PMC. After changing ownership a few times, Jo-Han models were sporadically manufactured by Okey Spaulding in Covington, Kentucky, but apparently none have been offered for several years. Early history Originally called Ideal Models, Hanley's first products were mid-1950s model aircraft and other promotional items. Some of the early projects included scale model kitchen sets and a training model of Chrysler's fluid drive transmission. This awarded Hanley a contract to produce models for Chrysler. During the 1950s, the U.S. automakers were commissioning models of their cars from suppliers that included AMT and Jo-Han. Automobile sales people realized that, as one slogan of the time put it, "the little ones sell the big ones" ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
