Yeah.. I agree with you. That's what he probably meant!

Did you mean "Yey! Melina Merkouri was a great voice! It's kind of funny, how the other guy doesn't speak Greek." ?

yes, she's wonderful. re Perkins: yes, he's neorotic, and convincingly mad. but, for me, that's it. i just can't believe in the chemistry between them. nevertheless, the fireside scene is memorable, thanks to the director, cinematographer and (bless him!) Theodorakis.

Mercouri exudes sensuality,but she's much more sophisticated and tempestuous than one might expect; she brings a spontaneous complexity to the role that is refreshing. Perkins is appropriately tortured; his neurotic quality is expected, of course, but there's an intensity to it here that is beautiful, and his mad scene is exceptional. Equally important, there's a palpable chemistry between them, and the fireside seduction scene is one of the most erotic sequences ever caught on film.

of course i know that. it's hard to believe in their affair because Perkins is ***MISCAST*** (as i said).

In order to believe in their affair, you need to acquaint yourself with the greek myth of Phaedra. The film is a retelling of the greek myth and Tony Perkins is just fabulous in his role.
