Golden Age Of Greek Cinema / O.S.T. Golden Age Of Greek Cinema / O.S.T. CD

Two CD set. Singers Nana Mouskouri and Melina Mercouri and composers Mikis Theodorakis and Manos Hadjidakis were the four key musical protagonists in the awakening of Greek music and cinema that occurred in the late '50s and early 1960s. This release comprises the soundtracks of the decisive films of the era. These include Michael Cacoyannis' Stella and Jules Dassin's monumental Never on Sunday, which it prefigured; films which found Melina Mercouri set against the conventions of society, a symbol and a mascot for outlaw women, giving vivacious performances which would make her a national hero and bring international fame. Never on Sunday earned Mercouri the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival in 1961 (an award she deserved for Stella).
