About If Luck Favors You
A poor but very decent teacher, Telis, who has resigned from his job, finds a winning lottery ticket in the street. Suddenly, his life changes radically. But he then discovers that someone has put it in front of him deliberately.
Directed by Giorgos Petridis, If Luck Favors You leans on a strong ensemble — Dimitris Papamichael, Lilian Miniati, Dionysis Papagiannopoulos — 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 1964.
