MY FATHER, THE TEDDY BOY

MY FATHER, THE TEDDY BOY

Caricature poster by N. Andreakos, depicting the leading actors of the film on various means of transportation. The figures with the big heads and tiny or non-existent bodies are very characteristic. Vasilis Avlonitis stands with his hands at his waist and his legs spread over a warship. Fragkiskos Manelis is on a canoe, Dionysis Papagiannopoulos pilots an airplane holding a missile in his right hand, which he’s ready to throw. Alekos Tzanetakos with Vasilis Mauromatis and a young woman are on a speedboat, while the head of Kaiti Papanika is shown afloat the blue sea. On the poster’s bottom, the title of the film, in red and black minuscule and capital letters, reads: MY FATHER, THE TEDDY BOY. On the upper left lays the artist’s signature: “N. Andreakos”.
Characteristic caricature poster by N. Andreakos, featuring the caricatures of the actors, in order to stress the comic element. Big heads, a non-existent body in the case of D. Papagiannopoulos, a tiny body for V. Avlonitis, no body at all for K. Papanika. Tiny, in comparison with the figures, are the vessels (the airplane, the ship, the speedboat and the canoe). Rosy-brown shades are used on the faces, while green shades on that of D. Papagiannopoulos. A humoristic illustration, aiming to inspire laughter.
