Design for Scandal is a 1941 American romantic comedy film directed by Norman Taurog. <SEP> In 1963 Mollberg directed movies for YLE. He directed a version of" The Unknown Soldier" in 1985, 30 years after Edvin Laine directed the original version of it. Mollberg's movie's plot was same as Laine's movie. But Mollberg used unknown actors and the movie was colourised and shot by a handhold camera. Mollberg did not begin directing films for the cinema until he was well into his forties. He made a notable splash on the international festival circuit in 1974 with" The Earth Is A Sinful Song"( 1973), his debut feature, an earthy, erotically- charged, blood- soaked tale of a young village girl's ill- fated affair with a Lapp reindeer herdsman. Based on a novel by the late Timo K. Mukka, one of Finland's most controversial young writers, the film" stunned Scandinavian critics and audiences alike with its simple, terrible power and its authentic sensuality"( Peter Cowie), and went on to become one of the biggest box- office successes in the Finnish cinema's history. It also introduced Mollberg's trademark style:" a realistic naturalism full of expressive force with which he merges the people with the scenery, stripping them bare of life's illusions and the polished veneer of culture"( Sakari Toiviainen). Rauni Mollberg( April 15, 1929 – October 11, 2007) was a Finnish film director who directed movies and TV movies. Despite Peter Cowie's efforts, and the acclaim of many other critics and" independent" festivals, The Finnish National Film board has stubbornly sequestered this masterpiece, only releasing it in a DVD format incompatible with international viewing, and lacking English subtitles. During his career he was used to get wide audiences in Finland. His film" The Earth is a Sinful Song"( 1973) sold 709,664 tickets and it is 11th on the list of most admissions to a Finnish film. 590,271 tickets were sold for the screenings of" The Unknown Soldier"( 1985) making it the 17th highest- grossing movie in the history of Finland. <SEP> From 1920 to 1968, Taurog directed 180 films. At the age of 32, he received the Academy Award for Best Director for" Skippy"( 1931). He is the second youngest person ever to win the award after Damien Chazelle, who won for" La La Land" in 2017. He was later nominated for Best Director for the film" Boys Town"( 1938). He directed some of the best- known actors of the twentieth century, including his nephew Jackie Cooper, Spencer Tracy, Mickey Rooney, Judy Garland, Deanna Durbin, Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Deborah Kerr, Peter Lawford, Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis, and Elvis Presley. Norman Rae Taurog( February 23, 1899 – April 7, 1981) was an American film director and screenwriter. Taurog directed six Martin and Lewis films, and nine Elvis Presley films, more than any other director. For his contribution to the motion picture industry, Norman Taurog has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 1600 Vine Street. <SEP> The School for Scandal is a 1930 British comedy film directed by Thorold Dickinson and Maurice Elvey and starring Basil Gill, Madeleine Carroll and Ian Fleming.
