Nightclub singer Stella (Melina Mercouri) loves her life. She resists any attempt to tie her down, no matter if it's from a nice society boy (Alekos Alexandrakis) or a hotshot soccer player (Giorgios Fountas). But when tragedy strikes, will she bend with the pressure and compromise her feelings?
This is the Greek version of Carmen and I don't hate it but I liked Never on Sunday more. This was her debut film, so that's probably not a fair comparison just because I saw this one second, but what are you going to do? She's basically playing the same character in both, just one has a happier ending than the other.
The only place I could find this was on the Internet Archive, which is a shame. It should probably be celebrated more as a piece of Greek film history.
