Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This belongs to Greece's 'golden age' of commercial cinema, when Finos Film dominated with populist comedies that celebrated ordinary Athenians.
Thanasis Veggos, playing the salesman here, became Greece's most beloved comic actor—his entire career was built on this precise blend of pathos and pratfalls.
