Really bad take on Greek people


I don't know if its Disney's fault or the writer, but somebody doesn't like Greeks. They come off badly. Plus, Eli Wallach, really? The Brooklyn accent made him comical.
On the up side, the scenery was delightful.

I love this movie just for the locations alone; beautiful. I agree about Eli Wallach. His accents are always terrible and always sound the same whether is plays a Greek, Italian, Mexican. Actually, I find many of those Actors Studio actors had/used the worst accents in movies.

Just because one character is a villain, it doesn't imply a claim that an entire culture is like that . . . and that's even if we ignore the fact that the film is fiction.

Two Greeks (Wallach and that other guy with the rifle) happened to be the bad guys. Wallach's sister, her kid, and all the other Greeks were good guys.
