Tulio had started his filmmaking career in partnership with Valentin Vaala, and Vihtori ja Klaara was closely based on Vaala's earlier Kun isä tahtoo... Tulio's film also starred Eino Jurkka as Vihtori Vuorenkaiku (Jiggs), with Verna Piponius as Klaara Vuorenkaiku (Maggie), Nora Mäkinen as Vappu (Nora), and Turo Kartto as the shiftless Nisse (Sonny). Although perhaps not one of Tulio's best films, and made on a rather modest budget, Vihtori ja Klaara is nonetheless a very amusing take on McManus's comic creation. The plot, such as it is, revolves around Vihtori's clandestine involvement with an attractive and rather worldly young woman named Ritva, who is planning to marry boxing champion and garage owner Klasu Tullari, son of Vihtori's friend Tomi, and their interactions with daughter Vappu and her fiancé, Peter von Schaslick, a mechanic in Klasu's garage, under the nose of the threatening and suspicious Klaara, with lazy son Nisse acting as a rather sardonic Greek chorus.Unelma karjamajalla / In the Fields of Dreams:Int his film Kaarlo Oksanen plays second fiddle as despoiler of the innocent servant gi...Teuvo Tulio Collection 12-DVD Boxset ( Vihtori ja Klaara / Unelma karjamajalla / Sellaisena kuin sinä minut halusit / Laulu tulipunaisesta kukasta / Rak
