Poor excuse for a paid vacation in Greece
gridoon20244 April 2022
Udo Kier must have had fun making this movie: he got to travel to Greece (Athens and the island of Hydra) and make out with one beautiful woman after another after another - and got paid for his "troubles". The audience is not likely to enjoy the experience quite as much, though. It's a terrible soft-core time-waster, amateurishly made on all levels, with laughably dated hippie stereotypes and a persistently annoying - or is that annoyingly persistent? - score; there is more background music than dialogue in this movie, probably to save on the dubbing costs for the non-Greek actors. 0.5 out of 4.

a very competent and erotically-charged Greek exploitation drama
arispull14 October 2021
Efstratiadis was one of the leading directors in what is called 'the golden age of Greek erotic cinema' and this 1971 film showcases his vision and talent. This nicely shot production assembles a stellar cast, including Udo Kier as the main lead, as well as several famous Greek idols. The music by Manos Loizos is wonderful and there is enough nudity -and a little violence- even in the cut 91-minute version, for those who can't find the 111-minute edit.
