  • Trivia
    His breakthrough movie Katariina ja Munkkiniemen kreivi (1943) was such a huge success in Finland that also Hollywood got interested in him. The MGM company contacted Wager's agent and asked for a copy of the film. This was sent, but the ship carrying the film reels was torpedoed on the Atlantic and Wager eventually stayed in Finland.
