O papatrehas (1966)
8/10
a vengos favorite!
18 January 2005
This is my favorite Vengos movie. This is the moment Vengos has reached a certain stylization in his performance without seeming to merely imitate himself. A janitor is trying to set up his six sisters and his aunt before he gets married to his beloved one who's brother's task is to have her married the soonest! While the film mocks the irrationality of traditional customs (sisters have to get married first)the main theme of Vengos devising all sorts of ways to earn his living and that of all others, remains. Although Vengos is funny just to watch, the one liners in this one are amazing and unfortunately very hard to translate to other languages (vast use of idioms, rhymes etc.) I've seen this a dozen times and can see it another dozen easily.
