O Ilias tou 16ou

Three friends want to find some money. When they are at a cafe, they think of a nice plan: one of them will go to a house of a rich man and steal some jewels, while the other will watching so none sees the robber. He also has the idea to be dressed as a policeman so nobody suspects him. The plan is working perfectly, except for that a woman thinks that he is a real policeman and calls him to her house to investigate about a missing ring

What could happen to a well laid-out plan? Well, this movie shows that even masterminds can get it wrong.

Three friends think of a plan to get rich really quickly and without too much hassle. They will just rob a house that belongs to one of the richest families in Athens. And they leave nothing to chance. They even have the bright idea of one them dressing up as a policeman in order to be on the watch-out for any passers-by that may ruin their plan.

But, a couple of streets away there is another case of robbery and the tenants of the house are on the look-out for a policeman. And they can't believe their luck when they find the policeman they were after in the face of Ilias Xatzixristos, who is just minding his own business!!! The movie is a classic, the cast are just hilarious and the dialogues are just timeless.

And the actors give their best performances in this classic plan who goes wrong and shows us the simplicity of this particular era.See it again and again because comedies like these are unrepeatable.

This is the best Greek movie ever in scenario, direction and acting quality.

This is one of the best movies of Kostas Hatzihristos (Greek actor)... and probably one of the top-10 of ALL times of the good old Greek cinema!

Everybody (actors) are playing fantastic, the casting is great (for each character), but the most amazing are these characters (and the plot) - especially these two poor fellas (Kostas Hatzihristos & Thanasis Veggos)!

The scenario is something simple, not too complicated story, but the interesting (and funny) is how this story "opens" and "runs" - very clever and funny.

These two characters (roles) are SUPER amazing, fantastic "build-up" from the story, and really really SUPER FUNNY moments!

VERY recommended!
