Movie Reviews of Never on Sunday

Movie Review: Knock on This Door
Summary: 5 Stars

This film is a real winner. The story concerns a vibrant call girl(Melina Mercouri) who lives life on her own terms who is trying to be changed by a moralistic American journalist(Jules Dassin). Mercouri is dynamically infectuous as Illia. I can't help but to think if Julia Roberts tried to reference Mercouri when she did "Pretty Woman". If so, she failed miserably. This film just grabs ahold of you and doesn't let go. The beautifully photographed Greek ambience, the amazing music score, the great supporting actors who feel so authentically Greek are all assets of this film. This is definitely a film some forty years on that holds up remarkably well.

Movie Review: Never on Sunday
Summary: 5 Stars

Ousted from Hollywood during the blacklist years, noir director Jules Dassin ("Rififi") fashioned this buoyant, flavorful romantic comedy with real-life wife Mercouri and scored a direct hit. As Homer, Dassin is an awkwardly earnest presence, desperately longing to cultivate the confident, effervescent Ilia, who is beloved by the town's sailors and unable to see the ugliness in Greek tragedies like "Medea." Mercouri, in her star-making role, really turns on the charm, making "Never on Sunday" a vivacious, bonafide Grecian delight.

Movie Review: Great, entertaining movie
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a great movie. The characters are realistic, the actors natural. People can really be like this, and the Greeks are. Not to mention Melina's rendition of Never on Sunday (The Boys from Pireus). I may be partial because I'm Mediterranean too, but this is a great movie regardless.

Movie Review: Excellent DVD !
Summary: 5 Stars

Excellent DVD, a masterpiece. The story was writte specially for her and also the main song (Never on Sunday). An unforgatble performance by M. Mercouri. Don`t miss it if you are a wise collector of such very good things with a very good quality.
