Daphnis and Chloe

Based On the book by Longus

Daphnis and Chloe (Greek: Δάφνις και Χλόη), is a 1931 Greek romance film written and directed by Orestis Laskos, based on the namesake novel of the 2nd-century writer Longus. It is sometimes said to be the first European film containing nude scenes. The 1897 film by Georges Méliès After The Ball was much earlier, but uses simulated nudity via use of body stockings. The film was shot in different areas on the island of Lesvos namely Mytilini and Agiasos.
