* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: All three brothers-in-law to an extent, but Panos comes out on top for having very few redeeming qualities, one of which being his desire to stop Antonis from committing adultery. Even so, this is for mainly selfish reasons: he realizes he will not be able to support the fractured household such an affair will create.

''Let The Women Wait'' is a 1998 Greek comedy film, directed by Stavros Tsiolis and starring Giannis Zouganelis, Argyris Bakirtzis, and Sakis Boulas.
Brothers-in-law Panos (Zouganelis) and Michalis (Bakirtzis) start the return trip to the island of Thasos, back to their families. However, on their way, a chance encounter with a woman will cause Panos to have a mental breakdown. The third brother-in-law, alderman Antonis (Boulas) arrives to get them both home, but he too becomes involved in various events.
''Let the Women Wait'' ιs the second part of the ''Women'' [[ThematicSeries Thematic Trilogy.]][[note]] Between ''Please, Ladies, Don't Cry'' and ''Women Who Passed My Way''[[/note]] It has achieved cult status for its many quotable lines and accurate satire of Greek culture in the late '90s.
The movie can be seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-ev9ky0qFM here]], and subtitles can be found [[https://github.com/ravingraven/as_perimenoun_oi_gynaikes here.]]
