An orphan girl becomes the janitor of a school, where the headmaster notices her.Neiti Talonmies (1955) is directed by William Markus and it's based on the novel by Hilja Valtonen, written the previous year.The main star Nelly Anita Lovén appeared only in two movies, which is a surprise to me.She does a very nice job as Irja Katriina Sassi here, so one would assume she had a long movie career.In Tauno Palo we can always trust, also this time as he plays Rehtori Kuusi.Kirsti Ortola, who became Palo's wife, plays the part of Ansu.Asta Backman is Opettajatar.Heimo Lepistö plays Räätäli Tirronen while Saara Ranin is Tirroska.Juhani Kumpulainen is Opettaja Lukkari.I recently saw this movie on a VHS.It has some nice comedic moments, like when Kuusi walks in as Irja is taking a shower.He sees awfully lot of ms. janitor there! And those times she's writing in her diary I did enjoy.

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.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
