I Aliki sto Naftiko

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.

A heavy cast of leading actors participate in this film. I'm not sure, I think the filming made in that ship, were the one of Philadelphia expirement has take place. Back then was delivered from USA to Greek naval defence. Is a funny family movie, with the super cute Aliki, might the beautiest Greek actrist of that time, in a sailor's uniform.

"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!!!

Aliki is a pretty and very very sweet girl who's father is a Naval commandant. During her summer vacations she meets Kostas who is the exact definition of "mikouiii kai poly kaimenouiii.." and we love him very very much! He reminds a lot of Kostas, a Duke who has recently joined the army! Kostas, being in the Navy, falls in love with Aliki but tries to back off, as soon as he realizes who she really is. When Kostas finds out who's daughter she is he tries to back off. The whole situation leads to a sequence of some realy amusing pranks... The best romance comedy ever. Aliki Vougiouklaki and Dimitris Papamichael have left us full of emotions and joy! Aliki sings the song "Trava Bros" in this film, which i still sing to my friends together with other famous Aliki's hits.

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.
