Never on Sunday
Ποτέ την ΚυριακήJules Dassin1960
An American fascinated by ancient civilization arrives in Greece, confident that he will find the everlasting truth. On his wanderings he meets Ilia, a prostitute who has the dignity of choosing her own clients. He falls passionately in love with her and, as another Pygmalion, tries to mould her. But Ilia has other plans. She abandons the classical education lessons the American offers her, abandoning him too, to give herself up to the love of a Greek-Italian dockworker.
