Never On Sunday (Jules Dassin, 1960)
Rating: 6.7
American intellectual tries to refine a whore, arrogantly proclaiming his way of life and understanding of the world to be superior to Illia's carefree happiness. Not a particularly original story, the onslaught of song and dance numbers gets old, and Dassin's character and his acting are both incredibly obnoxious. Melina Mercouri as Illia however is charming and deservingly won best the actress award at Cannes and was nominated for an Oscar as well.
