About The Unpraised
Struggling to make ends meet, the talented but still unrecognised artist, Miltos, knows firsthand what's it like to try to live off art alone. Already behind in the rent, Miltos is utterly unaware that he has just inherited a fortune from his long-lost uncle; a piece of vital information only the secretary in the notary's office, and her statuesque friend, Popi, know. Under those circumstances, Popi hatches an ambitious plan, intent on getting her hands on Miltos' money; however, the impecunious painter is head-over-heels in love with Litsa, the beautiful daughter of the neighbourhood's taverner. Will Miltos give in to Popi's intoxicating beauty? But, what is more precious, love or money?
Directed by Markos Malliarakis, The Unpraised leans on a strong ensemble — Sotiris Moustakas, Miranta Zafiropoulou, Maria Bonelou — 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 1970.
