Red Line (Finnish: Punainen viiva) is a 1959 Finnish drama film directed by Matti Kassila. The screenplay by Kassila is based on the 1909 novel of the same name by Ilmari Kianto.[1] The film was entered into the 1st Moscow International Film Festival;[2] however, the reception at the film festival was poor due to the exaggerated character of a social democratic agitator (played by Jussi Jurkka) and weak quality of the film's subtitles.[1]
In 1959, the film won five Jussi Awards in the following categories: Best Screenplay (Matti Kassila), Best Original Score (Osmo Lindeman), Best Actor (Holger Salin), Best Supporting Actor (Jussi Jurkka) and Best Supporting Actress (Rakel Laakso).[1]
