What happens

Varjostettua valoa on Jarno Hiilloskorven ohjaama elokuva vuodelta 1962. Elokuvan käsikirjoituksen Hiiloskorpi on tehnyt Stefan Olivierin romaanista Ich schwöre und gelobe (1959; Lupaan ja vannon, suom. Elli Ristimäki 1961) Elokuvan innoittajana on mahdollisesti ollut silloisten television lääkärisarjojen Tohtori Ben Casey ja Tohtori Kildare suosio. Huolimatta runsaasta panostuksesta markkinointiin katsojamäärät jäivät suhteellisen vähäisiksi. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
