Language is no barrier to romance in this quite delightful Greek picture about a young English tourist (Anne Longberg) who has a chaste love affair with a Greek shepherd (Giannis Voglis) during an idyllic summer holiday. Not a lot happens; it really is just a gentle tale of two innocents getting to know each other with the only question being 'Will their relationship have a happy ending as the film draws to a close?', but the simple story is so beautifully photographed by Nicos Gardellis and boasts such an outstanding musical soundtrack by Stavros Xarhakos that I was immediately charmed and captivated. Exquisite filmmaking..Trivia Note #1: The beautiful half-Swedish Longberg would go on to become a Bond Girl! She has two small parts in Moonraker, one as a museum guide and the other as one of villain Dax's bevvy of beauties.Trivia Note #2: The film was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film but lost out to Costa-Gavaras' Z.
