Description:
On the Greek isle of Crete, Basil (Alan Bates), a shy inhibited writer from England is befriended by Zorba (Anthony Quinn) a boisterous peasant with an astonishing love for life. When Zorba agrees to work at Basil's abandoned mine, it is the beginning of a lesson for the young man as he gradually moves from an observer of the world to a participant. This acclaimed classic co-stars Irene Paps and Lila Kedrova in an Oscar winning performance. "An utterly absorbing and sharply memorable film" (The Hollywood Reporter)
Amazon.com:
If you think Zorba the Greek is a simple-minded homage to a man with a zest for life, then you haven't seen the movie. Basil (Alan Bates), a reticent British writer, comes to the Mediterranean island of Crete to revive a mine his father owned. On the way, he meets a Greek roustabout named Zorba (Anthony Quinn) and hires him to help, little suspecting that Zorba's exuberance will lead him to some dark and troubling places--frankly, if the last 30 minutes of Zorba the Greek are what it means to embrace life, some viewers will want to shut the door in life's face. But there's no denying the movie's ambitious scope and implacable force, even as it paints an alien and disturbing portrait of life in a Greek village. On top of that, gorgeous cinematography and one of the greatest film scores ever give this movie almost demonic energy. --Bret Fetzer

I'd heard many great things about the film "Zorba the Greek". Now I've watched it. What do I think?

Along the way he meets the exciting and interesting Alexander Zorba (Anthony Quinn). Zorba talks the Englishman into giving him a job. As the movie goes on, our Englishman falls in love, learns about life, and ... Read More

The movie is exactly what I expected and was shipped so fast that I could hardly believe it! Thanks!

and none of the pathetic townspeople think to call the Police. OK-------This is NOT an uplifting film. It's actually quite depressing, I was surprised how bad Zorba was. Quinn is quite good as the title character, but to me it is rather a bizarre, bad film.

Through Amazon, this wonderful old film was brought back to life for me by way of modern technology. This meant the quality of the film was excellent which added just that much more to the enjoyment of this very moving story - without doubt, one of our film classics.
It also meant that I was able to show it to friends who had not seen the film at the time of its release and so share the enjoyment that I first had many years ago.
We take modern technology so much for granted in this modern ... Read More

This wonderful film has never become dated. It is a catalogue of superlatives -- an outstanding film score (and indeed soundtrack), an outstanding cast (Alan Bates and Irene Papas were probably the two most beautiful people in the world at that time and Anthony Quinn was certainly the most charismatic actor), a stunning screenplay by Michael Cacoyannis, extraordinary sets and settings, superb photography and above all, a vivid sense of the pathetic and the ridiculous make this a film that you should ...
