Love, a double-edged knife

I listened to this song tonight after a very long time.

"Love, once the source of so much hapinness,
You´ve turned into a double-edged knife...
...Switch off the lights, switch off the moon,
Let him not see my sorrow when he takes me".



The story finishes...with a knife. This film, Stella, brought many good people together: Michalis Kakoyiannis (the director), Manos Hadjidakis (the composer), Melina Merkouri (the actress). And it brought together Melina and Jules Dassin. They met at the Cannes Festival in 1955 during the screening.

Enjoy one of the most famous scenes of greek cinema.
