The film was a favorite for the Golden Palm at the 1955 Cannes Film Festival and Mercouri for the Best Actress award. It won neither. This fact caused controversy, so Isa Miranda, a member of the jury, gave Mercouri a special award named "Isa Miranda" award for her performance. more

A Greek Masterpiece of love and freedom!!!, 8 March 2001
10/10

It is my opinion that this film is the best film ever created in Greece. This a story of Greek female singer who is full of passion and despises any social or moral "must". She is living her life like nobody else. Until our anti-hero Stella meets her destiny in the face of Miltos, a man who will try anything in order to make her his. Of course, a passion can have only one tragic end. The direction of Michalis Cacoyiannis is superb. The stars Melina Mercouri, Giorgos Fountas and Alekos Alexandrakis are some of the best actors that the Greek cinema and theathre has created. Also the music is made by an Oscar winner composer, named Manos Hadjidakis, and it reflects all the emotions that the actors have. If you can not understand what Mediterranean passion means, see this film, and you will. SUPERB!!!
