About The Lottery Man
A fairly successful insurance agent, Charles, invites a charming woman, Nana, who was the victim of one of his clients, to lunch and gives her a series of state lottery tickets that he buys during lunch.However, he gets into an argument with Nana and she returns the lottery tickets to him, while Charles gives them to his secretary and two clients. The lottery ticket wins the first prize, but how can he collect the winnings? Then the goddess Fortune appears before him in the form of a beautiful woman and complains that he kicked her. Charles's luck, however, was meeting Nana. A baby, found abandoned on his doorstep, causes the two young people to realize their love and decide to unite their lives, taking the baby's poor mother, who regrets her decision and wants her baby back, into their employ.
Directed by Giorgos Papakostas, The Lottery Man leans on a strong ensemble — Giannis Michalopoulos, Mary Kyvelou, Filimon Methimakis — 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 1979.
