I have always been fascinated by the stories behind the camera. Since I was a child, climbing the walls of the neighborhood's outdoor cinema, to this day when my good luck brought me close to all these mythical actors, who - like other storytellers - told me their backstage "exploits", sometimes vivid and charming, and sometimes touching and tearful. What wonderful narratives, and what unforgettable nights I spent with all these mythical actors, who were part of my own dream!
Behind the bright lights, microphones, clappers, and cameras, another "film" was playing, perhaps more real, more human, and certainly more entertaining. So, I wanted to record these little backstage scenes in this specific book and tell you the stories just as I heard them from the protagonists themselves, who whispered them to each other and had a lot of fun with them.
On the following pages, we will delve into the secrets of our own Hollywood backstage and mentally transport ourselves to all those historic studios and sets, meeting familiar beloved faces, simply, everyday, without costumes, lights, and makeup, just before they transform from ordinary mortals into glamorous mythical figures.
A red thread tied... And the stories of the Greek cinema backstage begin...

At first, I was excited, but then it bored me because it didn't say anything substantial. Over and over again, the same stories that have been told on television. I also noticed some inconsistencies like Vougiouklaki being in Pelion and her assistant running to Volos to get a pregnancy test. Really now? A pregnancy test in 1969? It seems kind of strange. I only read it because I forced myself not to leave the book unfinished. Otherwise, I would have given up on it.
For true fans of old Greek cinema, there is nothing new. Personally, everything that the book contains, I had already read in articles or heard on various shows in the past. However, if someone hasn't delved into it much and is interested in learning, they should get it without hesitation because it is quite a quality work.
