Uuno Turhapuro (1973) watch online

Uuno Turhapuro is a 1973 Finnish comedy film directed by Ere Kokkonen, and the first, black and white Uuno Turhapuro film. It stars Vesa-Matti Loiri, Marjatta Raita, Pertti Pasanen, and Simo Salminen.

Uuno Turhapuro is the main character of the film, which was created by Spede and Loiri for Spede Show. The unexpected success led to the creation of a 19-movie series. In an effort to save money, Uuno became Spede's first feature to be filmed and edited on video before being printed to film for theatrical distribution. This method was employed by Spede all the way into his late 1980s features.

The film was the first produced by Spede after nearly a two-year-long hiatus, when Spede's three feature films released in 1971 (Hirttämättömät, Saatanan Radikaalit and Kahdeksas Veljes) all failed to make a notable profit.
