All Men Are the Same

When Polyxeni catches George, her husband, embracing Calliope, their maid, all hell breaks loose. She fires the maid and packs her bag to go home to mother. To her amazement, however, the new maid at her mother's house is none other than the very same Calliope she has fired. The curvaceous maid has managed to insinuate her way into yet another household and is now besieged by Polyxeni's father, her brother, and her brother-in-law. Calliope seems to be the reason for the title of the movie: "All men are the same..." Overall this is a fluffy comedy, but the message it gives is rather ambiguous... Are all men really the same, or is it Calliope who manipulates them in compromising situations for her advantage? The film is based on the play "Peirasmos" (Temptation) by Grigorios Xenopoulos (1867-1951), one of the better known of Greek playwrights and authors of the late 19th to mid-20th century.
