JULES DASSIN–PART 3: THE GOOFY DIRECTOR

Apropos of this weeks posts on non-French, non-Greek director Jules Dassin, here’s a lovely scene from his 1960 hit “Never On Sunday’, starring his wife Melina Mercouri. In an act of immense chutzpah, Dassin–who was essentially a non-actor–cast himself as the co-lead–an American who’s visiting Greece. He’s the gray haired man who gets drunk, goofy, happy and in the groove. I haven’t seen this film in years but this makes me want to take a look at it again. Yamas!
