    The Band called the Movietones plays Euro Film hits

    About First song The Red Lanterns in Japan is twisted.
    when it was released in Japan in 1965, the hit song 'La playa' by Claude Chiari was replaced by the original theme song,
    which became popular in Japan under the Japanese title
    'Yagiri no shinobiai(a secret meeting under the mist of night) ”

    1. Hello, I know nothing about the band, but I know that on the album cover the photo is from the 1963 Greek drama film "Τα Κόκκινα Φανάρια", which means "The Red Lanterns". The woman playing the guitar is the actress Τζένη Καρέζη (Jenny Karezi), who was one of the most popular actresses in Greek cinema and theatre. I don't know if any of the songs actually come from the film, but here is the excerpt from the film where the photo is from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JGu4ghDvTE
