I Aliki sto Naftiko

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 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.

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.

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).
