O Ilias tou 16ou

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

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.

Very good acting by Chatzichristos and Veggos,one of the most beloved Greek actors!

Sharp humour ,easy going storytelling and of course plenty of Humorous scenes!

One of my bests!

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

The scenario is one of the smartest ones! The performances of the actors are to be presented as examples in the actors schools. One of the best comedies ever made! Three poor friends are looking desperately for money. They are planning to steal the jewels of the crafty owner of a café and one of them is dressed policeman. The problems (or, the adventures) begin when the fake policeman has to solve a mystery with a "stolen" ring. Finally, the last scene when the two of the three friends are met in the police station (the "policeman" and the "wannabe thief") is considered as one of the funniest ones. The director (Alekos Sakelarios) has offered many movies of this type to the Greek cinema! It is worth seeing it!
