Lalo Schifrin (Argentinian I believe) and the Bouzouki (or is it a Sirtaki) in this opening film score is what Hans Zimmer is to todays more modern film scores. ---Absolute Genius

[@theonemesis5217]

Don't confuse yourself...Bouzouki is the musical instrument....Sirtaki is a form of Greek dance....I know what I'm saying...being a Greek myself, and all......!!!

Good old Argentinean Lalo Schifrin, has done a wonderful job with this old time classic of the '80s! Our love from Greece....the country, in where this movie was shot!

[@teacher.8007]

Main titles is actually an ingenious cover by Schiffrin of a popular Greek island folk song...

[@theonemesis5217]

Yes...."I shall take a fishing boat"....sang also by the famous Greek singer John Parios!

RIP Sir Roger Moore

[@theonemesis5217]

Yes...a great actor and a Gentleman, who played twice in Greece before. He was also a good personal friend, of the mother of my Greek / British classmate (...she was a Greek actress, married to an English guy. She used to show me, photos of her and Sir Moore, getting together, during her trips in London! Late Sir Moore, loved Greece a lot! May God rest his soul. We, his Greek fans, will always remember him with love and respect!)
