About Classic Failure Case
Meet Mastro-Yannis, who, together with his assistant Vlasis, is capable of turning your household upside down. The biggest mess-makers in town, they get involved in unbelievable situations, blunders, and romantic adventures every day, while defending their business against Meremet Service, a multinational company that wants to shut them down. In this film, Kostas Tsakonas was injured when he fell from a folding ladder while trying to climb up to the attic to fix a water heater, and filming was halted for ten days.
Directed by Takis Vougiouklakis, Classic Failure Case leans on a strong ensemble — Kostas Tsakonas, Magda Tsagani, Tasos Kostis — 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 1987.
