Greek Goddess Makes it Big in the US

[borhank · 7/10 · 8 February 2024]

This is a documentary about a greek woman that migrates to the US from Greece and make it big in the Adult entertainment world that really is less about the adult industry and about how the core of this documentary is about family more than anything else.

If you want to know about New York in the 60's and 70's this is for you.

Its 90mins but it goes by fast.

If you are conservitive this maybe something that you should give a misse too but i do recommend this as a short quick documenntary that is very intresting.

Another line would be that this grandmother is one savy business woman that did not shy away from any challenges and you can see its more about who you know that what you know remember this is back in the 60s 70s.

Wonderful immigration story about a New York lesbian grandmother, who ran the biggest porn cinema imperium.

This is quite the story. And I am lost for words to define it!

But I can best describe it as a wonderful immigration story about a Greek Jewish woman who fled from the nazis, started selling coca cola and peanuts and somehow ended up being the manager of the biggest chain of porn cinemas in New York City during the sixties and seventies.

We get to see her children talk about their late (grand)mother with love and admiration. This Greek Jewish grandmother was one of a kind and the history of this family mixes the history of the Nazis, with an immigration success story, with lesbian and gay lifestyle, because this eccentric grandmother was a fullblown lesbian as well, in a time (the sixties) when it was definitely not something one openly talked about (yet...)

Wonderful. Fascinating. Endearing. And bizar.

A New York City portrait of the sixties and seventies, watched through the lens of a Greek Jewish lesbian grandmother, who was a successful porn cinema owner! How about that!
