The fiend (Greek Ο Δράκος) was a Greek film written by Iakovos Kambanellis and directed by Nikos Koundouros. It was released on March 5, 1956.
Plot
Thomas is an insignificant and unappreciated bank clerk. He heads home from work, on the bus, with no plans for the New Year's holiday when he views, in a fellow-passenger's newspaper, a newly-released picture of a master criminal called "the fiend". To his amazement, the master criminal is his spitting image.
Thomas tries to avoid the police and ends up in a cabaret with underground connections. The owner ("Fatso"), employees and patrons of the cabaret assume that he is indeed "the fiend" and treat him with fear and respect. A young, still-innocent showgirl called "the baby" (to moro) falls in love with him.
Eventually, the insignificant Thomas identifies with the role of the fiend. He meets a tragic end when the truth comes out.
