Dramatis Personae
Uuno is a ragged man, characterised by his tattered, sleeveless shirt, sparse row of teeth and untidy face, perhaps depicting a Finnish stereotype of loser. His wife Elisabeth Turhapuro (played by Marjatta Raita) is the daughter of rich mining Councillor Tuura (Tapio Hämäläinen). In the beginning of the first film, in the couple's wedding, Uuno is tidy and cleanly, but gets ragged and lazy immediately after getting married to a rich woman. Uuno's main pastime is lying on the couch, overeating, and getting his hands on his father-in-law's money. His biggest virtue is his gift of gab that he uses in settling marital problems, cadging free hot dogs from the stand and seducing other women.
