    Worst of the worst.. 0/10

    Incredibly stupid scenario, direction and acting. Not worth a .."drachma"!

    A wonderful Greek film

    The first Greek action comedy. A wonderful film with amazing performances, deep meanings for the viewer, and very enjoyable.

    A delightful Kostas Voutsas, a wonderful Dinos Iliopoulos, as well as an amazing plot accompanied by the wonderful music of Giorgos Hatzinasios.

    I believe that until the release of this film, Greece had not experienced another action and situational comedy of this kind, and this is why it achieved enormous box office success in 1979.

    It is no coincidence that this particular film paved the way for a series of successful cinematic productions at a time when Greek cinema had faded away.
