The Test-tube Adult And Simo's Angels
''Koeputkiaikuinen ja Simon enkelit'' (''The Test-tube Adult and Simo's Angels'') is a 1979 Finnish comedy film directed, written and starring Spede Pasanen, along with the typical comic-cast of Simo Salminen, Vesa-Matti Loiri, Tapio Hämäläinen and Olavi Ahonen. Similar to his debut film ''X-Paroni'', Pasanen portrays a dual-role. Because Spede struggled to find funding for his movies throughout the 1970s, the film is only his second feature to be filmed entirely in colour (also his third film over-all to be filmed in colour). ''Leikkikalugangsteri'' was filmed principally in black and white with the film's ending being in colour, while '' Pohjantähteet'' (released the same year) was the first Spede film to be entirely in colour. – |
