About Hormoonit valloillaan
Väinö Kehkonen, the head of a Helsinki-based construction company, takes his wife and the Ärmälä couple to Dr. Puosu for a rejuvenating hormone injection, which causes them to behave like children. The director, previously known for his lack of drive, gains energy and enthusiasm from the injection, both in his business and personal life.
Directed by Orvo Saarikivi, Hormoonit valloillaan leans on a strong ensemble — Joel Rinne, Hilkka Helinä, Reino Valkama — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1948.
