The Totally Irrepressible

ZORBA THE GREEK

A perfect role model for every Greek citizen

If Greece continues down the present path toward EUROGEDDON, the people will have nothing else to do … … … but dance.

Traveling to inspect an abandoned mine his father owns in Crete, English author Basil (Alan Bates) meets the exuberant peasant Zorba (Anthony Quinn) and invites him along when the older man claims he has mining experience. In Basil’s father’s old village, he finds himself attracted to a young widow (Irene Papas), and Zorba takes up with the woman who runs their hotel (Lila Kedrova). When things go wrong, Zorba teaches Basil how to enjoy life even under the most trying circumstances.
