Melina Mercouri

Koula Agagiotou, Despo Diamantidou

MGM (Video & DVD), 2003

Ayyyy....OPA!!!!!!!!!
Purchased this and Zorba the Greek to help remind me of my time living in Crete. They both represent the joy and exuberence with which the Greeks and Cretans live. In Never On Sunday, the pragmatic Homer tries to "better" Illia by having her conform to post-Greco-Roman ...

The Law

Gina Lollobrigida, Pierre Brasseur

Image Entertainment, 2000

Strange fish of a movie
What a wonderful cast of actors (good grief: even the son of the director, Joe Dassin , later known as a very popular singer in France, has a small part..)and what strange going-ons in this plot involving the games of power in a (otherwise lovely and peaceful) ...

Nasty Habits

FLAMING FLAMENCO!
AT LAST - and well worth the wait. Based on the Marguerite Duras novel - this odd journey deals with lust, murder, adultery, and yet more lust. Peter Finch as the straight-laced husband, Romy Schneider - the 'companion' and Mercouri - 'the wife' find themselves ...

Topkapi

Melina Mercouri, Peter Ustinov

MGM (Video & DVD), 2001

Excellent DVD !
This is an unforgetable masterpiece performed by the Greek actress Melina Mercouri. The story is amazing and funny. The landscapes and the music are magnificent. The rest of the actors are so good, in particular Maximilian Schell and Peter Ustinov. I have watched it ...
