About Se alkoi omenasta
Autobiographical vanity showcase commissioned by Tabe Slioor, a self-made socialite and notorious symbol of loosening morals in early 1960s Finland. The film exploits the scandal she caused as the secret mistress of the mayor of Helsinki. Left unfinished because of her quarrels with the production company, the story relies heavily on her shamelessly narcissistic narration.
Directed by Teuvo Tulio, Se alkoi omenasta leans on a strong ensemble — Tabe Slioor, Tauno Majuri, Kunto Karapää — 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 romance titles of 1962.
