About This Movie

"Wake up, you sucker..." is a comedy film from 1969 that explores themes of deception and family dynamics in Athens, Greece. With a cast featuring Eleni Anousaki and Dionysis Papagiannopoulos, this film captures the essence of its era through humor and relatable situations.

The film follows Tasia as she chases the impostor Lepoura Vangelis, leading her to hitchhike to Athens. Once there, she gains the confidence of wholesaler Kyriacou Bolore and is taken into his home as a maid. The narrative unfolds as Bolore's family gets involved in various schemes and aspirations.

Lia, the daughter of Kiriakos, introduces the writer Phaedon Tramountana, seeking funding for a screenplay. Meanwhile, her brother Lakis is torn between his ambitions in wholesaling and his passion for a rock band. Their sister Ismene is preoccupied with her own interests, adding to the family dynamics and comedic elements of the story.

This film has seen limited releases over the years, making it somewhat of a rarity for collectors. Most copies you find are old VHS or DVD editions, and those are not in abundance. The lack of information on its director adds to its mystique, creating a niche interest for those who enjoy uncovering hidden gems from this era. As time goes on, the scarcity and unique storytelling approach may drive up demand among serious collectors.
