Sadan miekan mies ("The Man of a Hundred Swords" in English) is a Finnish historical adventure comedy film from 1951 directed by Ilmari Unho.
The duo approach the croft prepared, but when they arrive they meet only two goodhearted mercenaries with thick Karelia accent Komsi and Taavetti, the comic characters of the movie.
Van Herren's motives are revealed: He wants to return the kingdom of Sweden under the protection of the holy church, Vatican.
They win the fight against superior numbers, and after saying their goodbyes to Elisabeth and Kristiina, ride to Turku castle with raised swords.
Outdoor shooting for the move took place in the surroundings of the medieval Kuitila manor in Pargas and in Luostarinmäki and the castle in Turku.
The Turku castle appearing twice in a full frame shot is of a model, because the actual surroundings were not suitable for the 17th century period of the movie.
Roy aka Tapio Vilpponen won the best set design -award in Jussi Awards for this and the movie Gabriel, tule takaisin on 19.3.1951 at Hotelli Aulanko.
The editor of Suomen kansallisfilmografia -collection Kari Uusitalo chose Sadan miekan mies as one of top 100 significant Finnish films in the 1990 Mitä missä milloin -book.
Contemporary reviewers generally agreed that the Finnish adventure film had earned its place, with some room for improvements in directing.
