Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: B --
This culture collision comedy is full of cliches, but as the Greek prostitute with a heart of gold, Melina Mercouri gives an infectiously joyous Oscar-nominated performance.

High spirits are not enough in such enterprises. Even the Greek actress Melina Mercouri is not enough.

Rating: 3/4 --
Her earthiness is grounding, the only element keeping the world from spinning off its axis; beware the man, and woe to mankind, for formulating her to a wall.

Rating: A- --
While the film serves to exploit the myth of the happy prostitute, it reveals the charm and powerful simplicity of the Greece people.

Product Description:
NTSC/Region 0. Nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Actress, Director and Original Screenplay, and featuring the Oscar-winning song "Never on Sunday," this "racy, arty comedy"(The Hollywood Reporter) is as intoxicating as fine Greek wine... and a "rambunctious" (Time) delight! Glasses are smashing, fingers are snapping and everyone's dancing to the sultry music of the bouzoukies! It's just another glorious moment in the carefree world of Illia (Melina Mercouri), Greece's most radiant lady of the night. Sensuous Illia adores her life, and every man in her seaport paradise adores her. But when Homer (Jules Dassin), a stuffy American intellectual, sails into town and tries to reform her, Illia shows him that she's one free spirit who's happy with her wild life and not about to be tamed. *1960: Original Song (won), Costume Design.
