American Playhouse: My Palikari (1982)

Amazing

I was fortunate to meet Telly Savalas in Greece during his filming of this amazing film. This movie is a down-to-earth "family-relationship" film that tells the story of many Greek parents born and raised in Greece that want to share their childhood memories and experiences with their children in the hopes that they will understand and appreciate the different lifestyle that they endured without all the amenities we have today. It depicts the challenge a parent faces when trying to get their child to view something from the parent' point of view. The scenery is original and the story is true. Casual and laid-back, Telly's role as a father and a mentor to his son are touching and alive with meaning. Well done,Telly. We miss you.
