Trivia
Additional flashback scenes were filmed featuring Alfred Molina as Nick's father Christos (played by Steve Plytas in the 1980s scenes). Although Molina was credited as "Young Christos" in press materials, and his scenes were shown in publicity photos, his role was almost completely cut from the final version, and his name does not appear in the credits. Molina's only remaining footage in the released film is a single shot of Christos taking a photograph of Eleni, Nikola and family, with his face partially obscured by his camera.

An overly one-sided propaganda film.

While the general storyline was moving and probably based on a series of true events, I had to believe that it was primarily made as an anti-communist piece of propaganda.

Having said that, I did enjoy the film and the style in which it was directed.
