Inspector Palmu gets an assignment to work on the case of a young playboy called Bruno Rygseck.Palmu knows something nobody else seems to know; that it was a murder.Komisario Palmun Erehdys (1960) is a Matti Kassila film.It's based on Mika Waltari's second Palmu novel from 1940.I read it before I watched this on a VHS a little while back.Sure I had seen it before, but these classics you can watch more than once.The cast is really something else.Can't picture anybody else than Joel Rinne portraying Frans J. Palmu.And what about Matti Ranin as Toivo Virta.Or Leo Jokela as Väinö Kokki.Jussi Jurkka plays the part of Bruno Rygseck.Leevi Kuuranne is 'Butler' Veijonen.Saara Ranin portrays Amalia Rygseck.Aino Mantsas is Alli Rygseck.Matti Oravisto plays Erik Vaara.Elina Salo plays Airi Rykämö while Pentti Siimes is her brother Aimo.Elina Pohjanpää plays Irma Vanne's role.Leo Riuttu is Writer K.V. Laihonen.Arvo Lehesmaa is Gunnar Rygseck.Risto Mäkelä plays Hagert.Pentti Irjala plays Doctor Dahlberg.Toivo Mäkelä is Pianist.Leo Lastumäki is seen as Repairman.Rose-Marie Precht, Katriina Rinne and Esko Salminen are seen in the swimming pool.This first Palmu movie doesn't have a reputation of a classic for no reason.We all remember the legendary scene, where Leo Jokela sings.And the whole character of Palmu is legendary.The way he works on the case and solves the crime.Finnish crime comedy doesn't get too much better than this.
