I think that you would like to know that Village Roadshow released again Phaedra and plays it in their multiplex cinemas in Greece, during the Athens 2004 Olympic Games. I saw the picture - yes I am so lucky - and the picture and sound quality is fantastic. To my opinion, this is the ultimate movie ever. Perkins and Melina are fantastic. Responding to previous comments: Yes Zyl Dassen is still alive and lives in Athens, Greece. Unfortunately Melina Merkouri died years ago, suffering from cancer. For many years Melina was honoured in Greece as the Minister of Culture in the Governments. Zyl now continues her dream of building the Acropolis Museum in Athens and bringing back the Parthenon Marbles from the British Museum to where they belong, back in Athens.
