Lisa is a student, pretending the sick not to go to school. Her parents are worried about her health and call the doctor to examine her. He realizes her lies but he covers her. Soon, they fall in love and eventually get married. Htypokardia sto Thranio is another really good film starring Papamichael and Vougiouklaki plus pretty damn funny especially when Giorgos Kostadinou showed up and in the scene where he wanted to eat that cake of some sorts. The rest of the cast was also terrific and definitely a film that holds up pretty damn well. (10/10) (A+)
... View MoreDirector Sakellarios has taken stars Vougiouklaki and Papamichael in order to try to repeat in this movie the success that he had in 1959 with "To Ksilo Vgike Apo Ton Paradeiso". The story revolves around a schoolgirl whose mind is more on romance than on her studies. She falls in love with a young surgeon and they marry, she foregoing her final year in high school in order to marry. She finds married life a little boring and unbeknownst to her husband she secretly goes back to school. He suspects her of infidelity and this gives rise to all sorts of comical situations. Needless to say that the film espouses traditional patriarchal roles as were current in Greece at the time. Watch out for a young Giorgos Kostadinou playing very well Lisa's private tutor! A good film with good performances from the leads, but curiously "deja-vu" after the 1959 success of "To Ksilo..." Maybe a sequel would have been better?
