Revisiting Manolis Angelopoulos from the movie "The Date of Sunday"

 I posted a different YouTube video of this fantastic scene last year but...  Not only was it grainy (probably direct dubbed from a VHS cassette), but the video has since been deleted.  Here's what I had to say when I originally posted it (oddly enough, one year ago today)...

They laughed, they cried,  they had a grand night out.  How could it be otherwise when young Manolis Angelopoulos is holding the crowd at his fingertips and a random audience member dances on the griddle...

Here's what Google Translate has to say when you feed the text below the video through its cogwheels:  The group of Thodoros Derveniotis with Manolis Angelopoulos, Nota Papanikolaou and Nikos Karanikolas in 1959. The songs "In the closed house" and "The love of a gypsy" with lyrics by Eftychia Papagiannopoulou are heard. Thanasis Vengos dances the karsilama on the griddle. From the film by Errikos Thalassinos "The date of Sunday" with Dimitris Papamichail and Kakia Analyti.

Five thoughts: 1) The songwriter of the first tune was sparing with words and Manolis handles it so well --  it somewhat reminds of Bill Withers singing "I know I know" in "Ain't No Sunshine", 2) the mustachioed dude playing the baglama is definitely badass -- supposedly you could easily make a baglama while in jail and play it while wearing handcuffs* -- he looks as though he could have done both, 3) there appears to be more than a little spark of passion between Manolis and Nota, 4) Manolis has some sharp sartorial sense, and 5) I want to learn to dance the karsilama on the griddle.

*I think I learned the first fact from the book Road to Rembetika by Gail Holst Warhaft and the second from someone (whose name I forget -- maybe Paul?) that I met at the Weiser fiddle contest in Idaho a few years ago.  Take both facts with a grain of salt!

I think that pretty much sums it up although, on reflection, I think I was a little harsh on the baglama player who, for all I know might have been more of a disillusioned intellectual rather than a total badass...

One more thing -- I'm not sure I fully understand why, but the first version I posted was about 30  seconds longer, and here is a version of the last song that is longer than this video and, I assume, complete.

Enjoy this in all it's high-res glory!
