Never on Sunday (
Greek: Ποτέ Την Κυριακή, "Pote Tin Kyriaki") is a
1960 black-and-white film which tells the story of Ilya, a
prostitute who lives in the port of
Piraeus in
Greece, and Homer, an American tourist — a classical scholar enamored with all things Greek. Ilya is a character close to the "
hooker with a heart of gold" cliché. Homer feels Ilya's life style typifies the degradation of Greek classical culture and attempts to steer her onto the path of morality. It constitutes a variation of the
Pygmalion story.
