Zorba the Greek**
(GB/Greece 1964)
A half-Greek Englishman comes to Crete to inherit a disused mine, and comes under the influence of the eccentric, life-loving Zorba.
Long-winded but at times powerful melodrama, always energetically performed and providing good tourist trade for its depiction of Greek culture and its music, despite the slightly gritty black-and-white look and feel.
Written, Produced and Directed by: Michael Cacoyannis, from the novel by Nikos Kazantzakis.
Starring: Anthony Quinn, Alan Bates, Lila Kedrova, Irene Papas, Sotiis Moustakas, George P. Cosmatos.
Photography: Walter Lassally.
Music: Mikis Theodorakis.
