A COMEDY film, Never On Sunday, will be screened at the Bahrain Cinema Club tonight at 7pm.
The 1960 black-and-white film follows the life of a free-spirited young woman, Ilya, in a Greek port city. Open and amiable, she makes friends often and easily.
She meets Homer Thrace, an American on vacation, who is obsessed with ancient Greek culture.
He feels that modern Greece is a shadow of its former self and he believes that Ilya is a prime example of contemporary decadence.
He makes it his goal to amend Ilya’s easygoing ways, but she has stronger principles than Homer expected.
Directed by Jules Dassin, the Greek movie was nominated for the Academy Awards for Best Actress and Best Director.
It was also nominated for two Baftas, for Best Film and Best Foreign Actress. At Cannes Film Festival, it won the Best Actress award and was nominated for the Golden Palm Award.
