Love Interests
As it is with those kind of movies, a man suffering is never enough, so Xanthopoulos films needed a female lead actress as well. Xanthopoulos had the chance to collaborate with many young actresses of his time, all specialized more or less on tearful performances. The one that stands out of the crowd and had her own cult following (and her own film production company as well), was Martha Vourtsi. Giving equally heartbroken performances as Xanthopoulos, they quickly became a powerful duo, spawning 7 films (their most notable being "Περιφρόνα με γλυκιά μου (Contempt me, my dear)"). Other actresses that had the fortune of playing the love interest of Nikos Xanthopoulos are: Angela Zilia, Afroditi Grigoriadou, Kakia Analyti, Katerina Vasilakou, Mairoula Evangelou, Dora Sitzani & Kaiti Papanika.

Famous quotes containing the words love and/or interests:
“I am the love killer,
I am murdering the music we thought so special,
that blazed between us, over and over.
I am murdering me, where I kneeled at your kiss.
I am pushing knives through the hands
that created two into one.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“The history is always the same the product is always different and the history interests more than the product. More, that is, more. Yes. But if the product was not different the history which is the same would not be more interesting.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
