In the LOIRI & Marjamäki podcast, Vesa-Matti Loiri talks about a dangerous situation that threatened to blind him. Vesa-Matti Loir’s film career had four particularly bad accidents. Two of them happened in the Uuno Turhapuro films and two in the filming of the Pohja tähteet film. Of the dangerous situations in the movie Pohja tähteet, the more serious one would have taken his life if Simo Salminen had not saved Loir. An earlier accident blinded the young actor.
