In Piraeus -- Yiannis Poulopoulos & Eleni Kladis

 This video starts with a delightful shot of the legs of a dancer -- as is often the case, I am jealous of this fellows shimmying skills as well as his awesome black and white shoes -- they simply don't seem to have shoes like this in my neighborhood shoe shop.

We met Yiannis (or Giannis) Poulopoulos a few posts ago in a taverna that may have been the most joyless space in all of Greece.  Here we get to see him in a happier mode and singing with the delightful Elena Kladis.  As in so many of these videos, there is a bit of drama going on -- this time it is a drunken and loathsome character who joins the boogying and ends up doing some plate-smashing (although, for all I know, he is the likable hero of the film who is on a spree).  

From the 1966 Movie "The Four Legged Man".  Here is a Google translated plot summary from greek-movies.com: A provincial cafe owner (Kostas Hatzichristos) hopes to conquer one of the village girls. After some strange turn of events, he starts to get big as a businessman in an oil company. But when his petty scam leads to the discovery of real oil, he will acquire an unimaginable fortune, become a member of parliament and marry the girl of his dreams.   You can see another scene from this movie where some dude is dancing to the Ventures.  At least I think it is from this movie, although I suspect that someone dubbed in the Ventures.
