I feel that this is probably the least interesting job of O. Efstratiadis at least as far as concerned the erotic ones and from one point it's justified because its a fact that it was his last erotic one, secondly this is not anymore 70s but 80s where huge changes had happened in Greece politically, mentally and artistically. Above all private Television and VHS that conquered this decade, had a very negative effect on cinema.
As for the film itself I keep only the parts that Maria Jose Camtudo sang and I think it was a nice score partially cause every other song we hear in the movie had been used in Nico Mastorakis film "To koritsi vomva (the parapsychics)" 5 years earlier and I'm not really aware of what exactly and how this happened but seemed to me that this movie had to be done very quickly and just finish so it could pile with the rest and close this era once and for all.
The story in my opinion is the weakest Efstratiadis ever used in those erotic films. Aris Platonos is trapped in a long and boring marriage from which he escapes constantly using as an excuse his work as a director on the theater and by having several temporary lovers, young actresses mostly. His wife although she knew from the beginning that he married her for her money, she still loves him and tries to win him back. Aris meets Anna on an audition and they immediately fall for each other, although both of them try to seem as players. Aris has a lot of debts he ignores cause he only thinks of Anna but as she is a woman, she thinks further than that and asks him to clear out his relationship with his wife and find a solution for his debts. Then he asks his wife for divorce and when she denies and he leaves angry, his wife calls and finally sleeps with Petros, a friend who always loved and wanted he in a last attempt to make Aris jealous. Aris decides to have his wife killed, after he accidentally remembered of a couple of life insurances they both had done in the past, and agrees with a hit man to take her out. One day he comes back home and finds her dead body in the bathtub, he assumes that the job was done so when he goes to pay the killer he find out that she wasn't killed by him. The police suspects him of course and he worries tok much so Anna speaks with her friend Monika who worked in Petros's gym and she suggest to go and search his place and the gym while we see Petros buy an air ticket to Brussels. Petros comes back home and catches Anna going through his stuff and he tries to strangle her and then he put her fainted body into a garage with a started car so she would die from the gas, but last minute Monika found her and saved her. After that very shortly police arrests Petros at the airport and Aris cleared his name and watches Anna dancing and singing.
Its a pity that Efstratiadis didn't finish this glorious era of his with so many great films by making a better one or even better finish it at his previous one "Nefeli".
