GENERAL CINEMA HOLLYWOOD GALAXY THEATER
ACROPOLE
(Greece, 1995 130 min.)
A richly textured, often enthralling
tribute to the celebrated Acropole theater, which in
the '50's and '60's entertained Athenians with its
Ziegfeld-style musical extravaganzas, significant because
it was popular not only with the well-to-do, but also
with members of the working class who appreciated the
bawdy political satire. Pic's plot deals with that
old standby of the putting-on-a-show musical, the replacement
of a leading performer with someone less experienced.
(Director Pantelis) Voulgaris allows the plot to be
swamped by the musical numbers.. these sequences are
great fun, and lovers of Greek music and song will
have a great time.David Stratton, Variety.
