Zorba.The.Greek.PAL

Basil, a young English writer of Greek ancestry, meets an older, free-spirited Greek peasant

named Zorba (Anthony Quinn) on the island of Crete. While Zorba pursues a relationship with

Madame Hortense, an aging French courtesan, the inhibited Basil summons up the courage

to court a young widow. The young, unhappy Englishman finds himself learning valuable life

lessons from Zorba, the earthy peasant who has a zeal for everything he does. Nominated

for seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor (Quinn) and

winner of three, including Best Supporting Actress (Lila Kedrova).



As he discovers the earthy pleasures of Greece [Crete], the Englishman finds his view

on life changing.
