Edvin Laine (13 July 1905, Iisalmi – 18 November 1989, Helsinki) was a Finnish film director. Laine was born Bovellán.
Laine directed Aaltoska orkaniseeraa, a comedy, in 1949.
The Unknown Soldier, a film Laine directed in 1955 based on Väinö Linna's novel, was a big sensation in Finland. Laine also directed another film based on Väinö Linna's book, Under the North Star (1968), which also was a successful movie in Finland. 30 years later, in 1985, Rauni Mollberg directed a new version of The Unknown Soldier. It was based on Laine's film, but he used unknown actors and it was filmed in colour.
His 1958 film Sven Tuuva the Hero was entered into the 9th Berlin International Film Festival.[1]
