This wannabe family comedy makes an honest efort to be entertaining. However everything falls apart, the minute we see Y. Moutsios playing the valet in a blackface makeup. From that point on, the film simply exploits one stereotypical, if not racist, joke after another. Of course, certain allowances have to be made, given the fact that Greece was being run by a military junta, nationalism was dominant and a native African actor would probably have not been considered acceptable for a family comedy (let alone the fact that a native African actor was very difficult to find in the Greek society of the 70's). But even if we make these allowances, the end result remains poor. It should be clarified, however, that the actors that appear in the film were all extremely talented and everyone revered them. In this case they had to deal with a mission impossible: make an incurably cheesy script seem believable. It's not their fault that the effort fell through.
