Never on Sunday (1960)

Never on Sunday (1960), written, directed by, and staring Jules Dassin.

Comic tale of a vivacious Greek prostitute and the nerdy American intellectual who tries to reform her by preaching philosophy at her.

Films about happy, singing and dancing drunken people who live life to the fullest and break lots of glassware -- a little bit goes a long way.

Famous theme song.
