A fool and a half - Mary Linda & Manolis Chiotis

Astounding dress?  Check!  Fancy suit and bowtie? Check! Wonderful band with accordion, clarinet and trumpet? Check!  Hot bouzouki? Check!  Once again we're on the roller-coaster with the ever-virtuosic  Manolis Chiotis and the ever-graceful Mary Linda.  

A few things stand out here.  First and foremost are the four male dancers, who get pretty modern in their moves but give Ms. Linda the attention she deserves.  Second is the pan of the audience in all their rapture.  The only questionable decision on the filmmakers part was to put dialog over Mr. Chiotis' fine solo.

I don't know much about this clip from the 1965 movie "Agents 005 versus Goldilocks" which is apparently about some James Bond fans who end up involved in business / labor conflicts (thank you Google Translate and the greek movies dot com site).

If I happen to be elected mayor of Athens the first thing on my to-do list would be to erect a statue of these two...
