(POTE TIN KYRIAKI, Jules Dassin, Greece 1960, 91 min.)

In her star-making performance, the beguiling Melina Mercouri plays a Greek prostitute who attracts an uptight American Grecophile (played by director Dassin, later Mercouri’s husband). She sees nothing immoral about the way she earns a living, he sees her as a symbol for the fall of ancient Greece, and the two proceed to “reform” each other. The theme song by Manos Hatzidakis became a major international hit. Members admitted free.
