About A Hero in His Slippers
A veteran general, living poorly but honestly with his wife and his daughter, is visited by his future son-in-law who informs him that he is going to immigrate to Australia. On the same day, his cousin Apostolos pays him a visit as well and tells him that the government intending to honor him has decided to construct his statue and place it at the small square in front of his house.
Directed by Alekos Sakellarios, A Hero in His Slippers leans on a strong ensemble — Vasilis Logothetidis, Ilia Livykou, Nitsa Tsaganea — 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 1958.
