Interesting facts

  • Based on: The Meat-Grinder

The Stolen Death is a 1938 Finnish thriller film directed by Nyrki Tapiovaara. The story is set in the Grand Duchy of Finland in 1904, and is about a group of Finnish activists in Helsinki who develop into a revolutionary force for Finnish independence. The film is based on the 1919 short story "The Meat-Grinder" by Runar Schildt. Unlike the original story, the film is not set during the 1918 Finnish Civil War because of its sensitive subject at the time, but the events were set during the Russo-Japanese War instead.
