A Girl in Black 1956 123movies

Watch: Το κορίτσι με τα μαύρα 1956 123movies, Full Movie Online – Under the cloudless summer sky–against the backdrop of a derelict mansion ravaged by death, hate, and shame in post-Greek-Civil-War Hydra–a silently sinister undercurrent of intense rivalry among men unfolds. Eager to spend their carefree vacation at the sun-kissed Saronic island, well-to-do Athenian writer Pavlos, and his equally sophisticated architect friend Antonis rent a small room at the house of disdained widow Froso and her morosely-beautiful daughter Marina. But, little by little–as Marina’s brother Mitsos is fighting a losing battle to salvage what’s left of the family’s already-tattered reputation–love’s unforeseen complications pave the way for an unavoidable head-on confrontation between Pavlos and scorned local suitor Christos. As bottled-up emotions and suppressed prejudice blemish both lambs and wolves, calamity strikes. Can love redeem the sad girl in black?.
Plot: Hot on the heels of his breakthrough film Stella, Greek moviemaker Michael Cacoyanis came up with To Koritsi Me Ta Mara. Released worldwide as A Girl in Black, the film stars Ellie Lambetti as the title character. Because of her mother’s loose reputation, Lambetti is considered “easy” by the male population of the tiny Greek island where she lives. She ultimately finds true love in the form of vacationer Dmitri Horn. The lovers’ relationship is placed in sharp contrast with the cruelty and implicit degeneracy all around them.

A modern Greek tragedy
Ellie Lambetti’s performance in “A Girl in Black” is one of the greatest performances by an actress in all of cinema and yet hardly anyone has seen it. Michael Cacoyannis made this film for virtually nothing on the Greek island of Hydra after achieving international success with “Stella”. It’s a beautiful looking film, (the great Walter Lassally was the photographer), and the simple island setting suited the simplicity of the style perfectly. Early in the film one of the character says that everything is exposed by the light, even men’s sins and that is the theme of the film.

When two strangers arrive on the island their presence arouses passions among the locals that were always there but kept simmering just below the surface. Eleni Zafiriou is the widow who bestows her favours a little too freely, (the islanders are a very unforgiving lot), Lambetti is the daughter tainted by her sins, Anestis Vlachos is the son who is shamed by her, the better-known Greek actor Georges Foundas, (he was in “Never on Sunday”), is the fisherman who wants Lambetti and Dimitri Horn, the man from Athens, who gets her. It’s a contemporary Greek tragedy on a small, but no less terrible, scale and it’s heartbreaking. In America the film won the Golden Globe but it is seldom revived. See it at all costs.

A fine, forgotten film
Cacoyannis, best know for directing the film Zorba the Greek (aka Alexis Zorbas) in 1964, explored some of its themes in this 1956 film, which stars Ellie Lambeti. She plays a young woman who is constantly harassed by the young bachelors who live on the island of Hydra because she refuses to marry any of them. When a worldly Athenian comes by and rents a room in her home, the rumors begin to fly. In The Girl in Black and A Matter of Dignity (and even Zorba the Greek), Cacoyannis demonstrates a perfect and natural ability to explore moral issues within the culture, as well as create believable and moving tragedy. The earlier films came straight from his imagination (Zorba was adapted from a novel), and they are the works of a great screenwriter, one of the best of the era. Cacoyannis’ direction in these two films is also flawless. He did really well in Zorba, too. One wonders why his abilities aren’t more highly considered. I would guess it is because these early films are fairly obscure nowadays. I guess he’s an artist who deserves to be rediscovered.
