About The Policeman of the 16th Precinct
Ilias dresses himself in a police uniform as part of a complex burglary plot. Unfortunately for him, the impostor officer is called to assist in the investigation of a real crime. The other officers involved in this case treat him as a colleague, and he is forced to play along in hopes that his cover is not blown.
Directed by Alekos Sakellarios, The Policeman of the 16th Precinct leans on a strong ensemble — Kostas Hatzihristos, Thanasis Veggos, Stavros Xenidis — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1959.
