One character was completely excised (not known why: is in the DVD deleted scenes, but no explanation given) - 'Lonkka Esko', the partner (husband) of the chain smoking piano playing mid-aged woman (Sinikka Labba as 'wife' perhaps?), so that also out went several of her (Sinikka's) accompanying quite amusing scene performances - including, as shown in those deleted scenes, one raunchy (legs up!) barn sex romp with him.
