Rikas tyttö (English translation - The Rich Girl) is a 1939 Finnish film directed by Valentin Vaala.

Full credited cast

Production

The film is remembered today for being the last film starring Sirkka Sari, due to her death at a party for the cast and crew of the film. Due to Sari's death, another actress replaced her for the few remaining scenes that needed to be filmed. Scenes were shot from further away to hide the fact her character was being played by another actress.

Reception

Writer C. Celli compared the film to previous Vaala films in that it "repeats the urban-rural theme in a class tension melodrama".
