Steve Allen and Jayne Meadows presenting Manos Hadjidakis the Oscar® for Best Original Song for "Never On Sunday" at the 33rd Annual Academy Awards® in 1961. Accepted by Raoul J. Levy and hosted by Bob Hope.
Wow, no one showed up to accept this award? Gosh the producers and lyricist must have been be too busy taking over Jules Dassan's in juggling down more Ouzo so they forgot the time...lol why was Jayne Meadows look so beautiful and Steve Allen also looks so stellar and always a gentleman miss them both
He's on a bus coming from Yugoslavia!? That comment was probably the reason his Oscar got lost somewhere in Yugoslavia ;) Manos Hadjidakis was a kind child, will never be forgotten
Yes that's Entertainment we will miss.. but that dress it must have been starched to flair out for so long.. yeah she did look pretty in that outfit and Steve Allen always a gentleman
Although it's one of his well known songs and even the hymn of Piraeus, he didn't love it at all! On the contrary he hate it so much because of the fact that he was forced to write it in only one week!!! In my opinion he was one of the most talented greek composers and he has effected the new ones too... You should check his work! So many wonderful songs... Greetings from Greece 😊
δεν ισχύει οτι δεν του άρεσε το τραγούδι ...το θεσμό των Οσκαρ αμφισβήτησε και μετά όταν το παρέλαβε το πέταξε στα σκουπίδια ...όμως διεσώθη ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-o_6cO7hn-n4.html
Vicky Pap wow that's hard to believe..But maybe he didn't have enough time to put better lyrics down and he end up writting the lyrics about a lady of the night and her nightly rumps for looking for John's.. that's what I can get towards the end of the song.. does anybody have the exact English translation of this song Greek. Because Connie Francis had her own version in English thanks again for telling us the reason Vicky.
Wow that Bob Hope Has a Rapier wit and must have had stock in the Trailsway Corp Always knows how to make the best an embarrassing situation where nobody showed up can't believe it would probably never believes that they would have won we Greeks think that way
