I Aliki sto Naftiko

One of the best comedies of Greece's National Star and Demetris Papamichael. Until the 90s it was still the third biggest grossing film in Greece.

The main story centers around the acquaintance and love interest of Aliki with a young man which, to the ignorance of both, is a cadet to the Naval Academy where her father is the Admiral-Director. When he finds out that he literally runs away from her and Aliki decides to follow and confront him in an original and quite unconventional manner:).

The unique editing of the film makes it even more pleasant to watch, since it usually relates the last line of one scene with the first line of the next scene, in order to indicate the misunderstandings that drive the plot of the film around.

The cast includes many future Greek comedy stars, such as Costas Vourtsas, Ntinos Karydis and Giannis Gkionakis. The songs are an additional bonus for this film, the best known of them being "Trava Mpros" (Move Ahead), "O Glaros"("The Seagul) and the subtly melancholic: "Gaidarakos" (The Little Donkey).

It is very difficult writing for people who have given so much for their country's film industry,but are unknown to the people abroad."I Aliki sto Naftiko",is a very good example.Performed by the "national actress" Aliki Voujiouklaki in 1960,the film is an

excellent romance-comedy,one of greeks most loved ones. Aliki is the daughter of the Chief-Director of a Naval School Unit(naftiko in greek).She falls in love whith a candidate of the school (Papamichail) and when he goes on an experimental trip around the Aegian Islands with her father she entries the ship secretly where a lot of crazy things start... The film has an excellent score,too. It could be runked as a "greek musical" although only Voujiouklaki did this kind of film with the support of Finos Films,the producer of most of the greek films of that decade.

"I Aliki sto Naftiko" is one of those movies that once seen, you can never forget it! Greece's so called "National Actress" Aliki Vougiouklaki is probably the cutest actress ever. In this movie her playing is simply stunning and gives the same sweet, radiant glow that she offers to her fans in every single movie she has played.

During her summer vacations, Aliki, the daughter of the Chief-Director of a Naval School Unit, she meets Kostas (Dimitris Papamichael), who serves in the Greek Navy, and they immediately fall in love at first site. Aliki decides to get on board, without anyone know, to follow her love resulting in one of the funniest spoofs ever made, being very romantic at the same time! The minute that they finally get together is one of the most touching scenes that the international cinema has experienced. I can't stop crying even when i see the movie for the 50th time.

Excellent directing, production and of course music with songs like "Trava Bros", which is considered to be masterpiece and must-have for every personal disk box! I gave this movie a 10 just because there is no 20!!!

Every time I watch it is a joy.Plenty of humor and excellent immortal music from Hatzidakis and a well written script from the expert Sakelarios.

Aliki is a young fresh and very very cute girl who's father is a Naval Commandant. During her summer vacations, she meets Kostas, who serves in the greek Navy, and immediately falls in love. Kostas, who is the exact definition of "mikuiii kai kaimenuiiii..." (cute and lovable in greek) falls for her too, but as soon as he realizes who she is, he tries to back off. Aliki decides to get on board secretly, and from this point on, a lot of crazy and humorous pranks happen! Aliki Vougiouklaki (and co-staring Dimitris Papamichael) have offered us touching moments of strong emotions and joy, in this perfect romance comedy about adventures in love! Excellent music, with songs like "Trava Bros", which i still sing to my friends who are going to join the army (i recently had the chance to sing some of them to a Kostas of mine, we love him very very much)! Without hesitation, this is one of the top 5 movies ever!
