Someone like It Cold... (1963)

One of the most beloved Greek comedies of the sixties that brought together some of the most prominent Greek comedians of the time. It was basically a satire of the rising Greek middle class, which after WWII had started to acquire financial well-being, replicate the European social life style and enjoy happier times, but still struggled to cope with the old tradition of the first-born sister that should marry first, ahead of her three younger brothers and sisters. The excellent scenario and the impeccable acting describe with comedic accuracy the slang of the period, the idiosyncratic characters and the aspirations of the older and younger generation of the time. A very easy-going film, full of good-time scenes and flooded with unique modern Greek music. A gem of its kind.
