Happiest Day in the Life of Olli Maki, The (12A)

Biography, Drama, Romance

The true story of Olli Mäki, the famous Finnish boxer who had a shot at the 1962 World Featherweight title.

A lovely film with two great central performances.

This is an exceptionally modest, low-key affair but with an undoubted charm and a welcome humour running through the heartache.

Wondrously evocative.

The story of a Finnish boxer taking on a big-shot US star on home turf is the basis for this strange and wonderful comedy.

A charming tale about a featherweight uncomfortable with the unexpected burden of being a national hero.
