IMDb profile

Viu-hah hah-taja (from Viuhahtaja meaning streaker) is a 1974 comedy written by Spede Pasanen and directed by Ere Kokkonen.

The film is about two aliens (Giljotin and Tossavainen) who land on earth to learn of human custom and manners. They encounter a motley crew of characters such as a Forgetful Professor (Pentti Siimes), a man suffering from bad grammar which is makes him sound Swedish (stress related) and who looks exactly like the human-form of one of the aliens, and a psychiatrist with a way with the ladies. The latter two characters look exactly like Tossavainen and Giljotin's human-forms and cause problems for both characters.

The film is notable as it does not star or feature Vesa-Matti Loiri, but does feature two appearances by Spede's regular Simo Salminen. Though Pasanen wrote the film he went uncredited for reasons unspecified. Spede himself only appears in a brief cameo in the film.
