Rating72%
Homer, touriste américain et « philosophe amateur », passionné par la Grèce ancienne et ses philosophes, arrive en Grèce à la recherche de la Vérité. Dans un bar à rebetiko du Pirée, il croise la route d'Ilya, une prostituée très populaire, libre et indépendante, qui « reçoit » chaque jour de la semaine, sauf le dimanche (ce jour-là est réservé aux amis - d'où le titre du film). Homer, nouveau Pygmalion, décide de faire son éducation et de la remettre dans le droit chemin. Elle délaisse « ses amis », réaménage son intérieur, s'habille plus décemment. Homer l'accompagne à la représentation des tragédies grecques du Festival d'Athènes à l'Odéon d'Hérode Atticus.

Elizabeth Lipp (Melina Mercouri) visits Istanbul, where she sees a traveling fair featuring replicas of treasures from the Topkapı Palace. Next she cases the Topkapı, fascinated by the emerald-encrusted dagger of Sultan Mahmud I. Leaving Turkey, she recruits her ex-lover, Swiss master-criminal Walter Harper (Maximilian Schell), to plan a theft of the dagger. They engage Cedric Page (Robert Morley), master of all things mechanical; Giulio, "The Human Fly" (Gilles Ségal), a mute acrobat; and the burly Hans (Jess Hahn), who will provide the muscle needed for the job.

Rating80%
Tony "le Stéphanois" has served a five-year prison term for a jewel heist and is out on the street and down on his luck. His friend Jo approaches him about a smash-and-grab proposed by mutual friend Mario in which the threesome would cut the glass on a Parisian jeweler's front window in broad daylight and snatch some gems. Tony declines. He then learns that his old girlfriend, Mado, took up in his absence with gangster Parisian nightclub owner Pierre Grutter. Finding Mado working at Grutter's, Tony invites her back to his rundown flat. She is obviously well-kept, and Tony savagely beats her for being so deeply involved with Grutter. Tony changes his mind about the heist; he now accepts on the condition that they rob the jeweler's safe instead of the window. Mario suggests they employ the services of Italian compatriot César, a safecracker. The four devise and rehearse an ingenious plan to break into the store and disarm its sophisticated alarm system.
