Zorba the Greek
ComedyDrama142 min
An English writer arrives in Crete to reopen a family mine and falls in with Alexis Zorba, a local whose appetite for work, music, talk, and dancing upends his carefully ordered life. Anthony Quinn is Zorba, all improvisation and force, while Alan Bates gives the writer a quiet, bookish reserve as the two move through village routines, monastery visits, and the practical headaches of the mine. Around them, Irene Papas and Lila Kedrova stand out in a small community where gossip, desire, and old codes shape daily life.
