Edvin Laine
Biography
Edvin Laine (13 July 1905 – 18 November 1989) was a Finnish film director. Laine was born Bovellán.
Laine directed Aaltoska orkaniseeraa, a comedy, in 1949.
The Unknown Soldier, a film Laine directed in 1955 based on Väinö Linna's novel, was a big sensation in Finland. There have later been two other film adaptations of the same novel but Laine's version remains the best known. Laine also directed another film based on Väinö Linna's book, Here, Beneath the North Star (1968), which also was a successful movie in Finland.
