Kyösti Erämaa (October 23, 1899, Parainen - November 14, 1961) was a Finnish actor. Before her career, Kyösti Erämaa worked as a wrestler. He maintained his physical condition and started as an operetta hero, including the Koiton Show. The Wilderness later moved to the Bread of the Workers' Show in Oulu, and moved from there to Helsinki, where he starred until his death. He was the director of the Mikkeli Theater between 1948 and 1949. Kyösti Erämaa was also known as a film actor. He starred in about thirty film roles between 1934 and 1960, mainly in small parts such as the police. His best-known roles were, among others, the main part of Arah's Turma in the movie Tukkijoki (1937) and Ylitalon's Urho in the Dream of the Pasture (1940). He also starred in Pekka and Pätkä in bad trouble (1955). His last film role was a small role in the movie Isaskar Ketur's wonderful adventures (1960). From Wikipedia (fi), the free encyclopedia
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
