The Day The Earth Froze
In a world where everyone is blonde and looks like a viking (or a grownup child from The Village of the Damned),the evil witch Loukhy presides over her own personal hell in which nervous wizards try to build her "a sampo — a marvelous machine that could give anything to its owner." Pissed when the wizards fail, Loukhy decides to persuade "the immortal blacksmith" Ilmarinen to build one for her by kidnapping his sister, Anniky, via a magic, flying, kidnap cape
Right on cue, Ilmarinen and Anniky's boyfriend.Lemmin Kainen (who, eerity enough, is actually prettier than Anniky),sail off "to the edge of the world" to rescue her. After the blacksmith magically forges a bright red horsie, he creates the sampo — which has a crystalline shape and a rainbow aura emanating from it — with the aid of the witch's "heavenly flame" and her weird little wizards on a giant bellows. Happy to have the sampo and annoyed that pretty flowers keep sprouting where Anniky stands, the witch releases her.
But Lemmin Kainen tries to steal the sampo and ends up destroying it. Royally enraged, the witch then sneaks up to the setting sun (which looks suspiciously like a large movie light) and "steals it." Things quickly go dark and freeze over, which forces the populace to attack the witch and her wizards... with music. No kidding. They surround her rocky fortress and perform the kind of tunes an organist plays right before a hockey game...
Our favorite moment, however, is when Lemmin Kainen's distraught mother casually asks a birch tree if her son is living or dead and the tree testily replies, "I have troubles of my own, old woman!" She then asks the same question to a road which rises up in the form of a giant old man and kvetches, "You should have pity on me! I'm the road!"
The Day the Earth Froze is a cuckoo, ultra -bizarre, visually surreal fantasy from ALEKSANDR PTUSHKO, the Russian director of The Sword and the Dragon and The Magic Voyage of Sinbad. Shot in Finland and released in Russia as Sampo in 1959, AIP released the U.S.version in 1964 with a deceptive ad campaign that made it sound like sci-fi: "Thousands Against an Ominous Diabolical Force from Another World!'
From a crisp, clear, color-rich (but ice-cold) 16mm negative.
