Alekou Sakellariou -- The Steering Wheel

Wow! I keep learning so much about Greek life in the 1960's!  As far as I can tell, this is a very typical day in a Greek jail in that era.  There's a chap with a baglama hidden under his jacket*.  There also are about seven men, probably mangas** -- not the hard-case, tough-guy manga,  but instead the gentler, kinder, 3-part-harmonizer variety of manga.  Also in the hoosegow with these demi-toughs is a super-cute young woman in fine clothes who is mostly teary, except when she sings and flits those eyes of hers***.

Musically, after some fine Baglama playing, things get a little schmaltzy**** as the harmonizing manga-lads sing some and the young women with the hat bats those eyes, grins an alluring grin, and sings right back.  Oh, and one of the jailbirds does some fine shimmying during the breaks in the repartee.  Again, this song is less for rebetika fans and more for fans of Milly's "My Boy Lollypop" (which, coincidentally, happened to be an international hit in 1964, the same year that this was filmed).

Here is some info about the production, cheerfully cribbed from a Google Translate of notes below another copy of this clip on Youtube...  From the movie "Soferina" 1964...The steering wheel...Lyrics: Alekos Sakellarios Music: Gerasimos Lavranos...with Aliki Vougiouklakis...Soferina is the title of the film adaptation of Giorgos Roussos' theatrical comedy, The Last Lie... The film co-starred for the first and only time two big stars of the time, Aliki Vougiouklakis and Maro Kontou

* Zambeta!!!

** I can't figure out who she is, and she definitely needs to be credited.  Please let me know!

**** As mentioned, this is a far cry from true rebetika.  As Pierorist Hp from the comments  (via Google Translate) puts it --  If you exclude Zambeta who was also a rebetist, why are the rest included? They did not grasp the Fa properly.  How true that is!
