My Friend, Lefterakis

Film based on a theatrical work of Alekos Sakellarios. And the adaption is full of life and as good as it gets!

Screenplay is clever. An unfaithful husband thinks up an imaginary- friend, for covering his dirty-deeds. His wife has been informed about his scheme and she decides to present that imaginary-friend to her husband. And he can do nothing about it! A pleasant and crazy film, with splendid dialogs.

And what can I say for its actors? Dinos Iliopoulos at his best! Maro Kontou and Kostas Voutsas, too! Yiorgos Konstantinou and Kaiti Panou best for supporting roles.

And what can I say for the rest of crew? Alekos Sakellarios is a master of easy-watching and,at the same time, very good films and he proved it once again... Cinematography by Nikos Dimopoulos who was one of the most successful Greek cinematographers, especially with Finos Film! And on set-decoration there was the beast of Greek Cinema, Markos Zervas! Music is composed by Gerasimos Lavranos. Everything's perfect!

The only reason that I vote 9 out 10 is the musical-boring-scenes... A lot of Greek film have those scenes. I don't understand this obsession: Actors are sitting on their table and we just watch the singer. But anyway, I have to defend this nice film: Actors are not just sitting and watching the performers, they involved somehow! But... almost 10 minutes of musical-boring-scene is quite enough for 9 out 10. It deserves to be watched by all who likes Greek comedy films. One of the best and it is as simple as that!
