    Simplicity is the key

    Any Greek would rate this movie among the best comedies ever created. World wide. I am sure that if the translation could describe exactly the meanings of each phrase and every word of the dialogs, this would be true for anybody from any country. The main feature of this comedy is its' simplicity. Extreme simplicity to be exact. No special effects, not a lot of money spent, not many actors...just good taste and excellent acting. Zikos is able to transform everyday indifferent situations into laughter without making saucy remarks, or becoming ridiculous. I have only seen this kind of humour in some old Greek and Italian movies, and as far as I am concerned, it remains still ahead of most contemporary comedies.

    possibly the best Costas Hadjihristos Comedy

    with dialogue based mostly on Hadjihristos improvisations, this is a hilarious film, about a shop wiseguy worker who pokes his nose on everything, especially when he learn his ugly old boss plans to marry the neighborhood's beauty. A great greek sixties classic, nonstop laughs, although I dont have a clue how a non greek viewer would react.. besides i doubt if it available in any other language.

    A perfect moment

    The best film of Chagichristos and one of the very best Greek Comedies ever, is a movie very simple and depends only in talent and dialogue, witch is very sufficient in this case. Very funny, but unfortunately, only for Greeks!

    The best Greek comedy of all time!

    This is quite simply the best comedy in the history of Greek cinema. Characters and plot are as simple as it gets. Yet Kostas Chatzichristos delivers, with the best comedic performance of Greek cinema history , with constant punchlines (every single moment) which are relatable and memorable until this very day. To summ up : HANDS DOWN THE BEST COMEDY GREEK CINEMA HAS EVER PRODUCED!!!

    Hatzihristos best comedy

    Including Nezer,Doukas,Rizos and Fermas.Nice music and lines dleivering from Hatzihristos who has excellent chemistry with his boss Doukas.A must see for lovers of old greek cinema and not only.
