	Musical Cyberspace: Zorba
		Zorba’s manner of interrogation into Nikos’ affairs is more an attempt at inflicting his own beliefs than an honest attempt to listen to Nikos’ problems.
		Zorba urges Nikos to follow her, but Nikos refuses, saying that things that are meant to happen never need to be rushed (THE BUTTERFLY).
		Zorba and Manolakas go down in the mine to try a sample blast but a huge explosion occurs and the mine is declared useless.

	DVD Verdict Review - Zorba The Greek
		However, when Zorba the Greek arrived on the scene on December 17, 1964, few would anticipate the immense critical and commercial success that would be lavished on the film.
		Zorba's brash demeanor and lust for life are in stark contrast to the reserved, shy Basil, but he manages to talk his way into a job at the mine.
		Zorba the Greek was adapted from a novel by Greek author Nikos Kazantzakis.

	Zorba the Greek (1964)
		In short, there are those who LOVE Zorba the Greek and Harold and Maude (this critic) and there are those who sit with their curmudgeon arms crossed and PRETEND to not love Zorba the Greek and Harold and Maude.
		It's a tribal moment that separates the Greek Zorba (who, like his boss Basil, is not steeped in tradition—it's one thing they DO have in common) from the ugly masses.
		Zorba's rather good plan for moving lumber into the old mine backfires with such destruction, the film appears to be hinging on tragedy.

	Home Theater & Sound -- Zorba the Greek - **** (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Zorba the Greek, based on the novel by Nikos Kazantzakis, tells the story of Basil, a young Englishman, and his Greek employee, Zorba.
		The soundtrack is full of traditional Greek instruments that, admittedly, can sound shrill, but the problem seemed to be in the recording, not the instruments.
		But all in all, Zorba the Greek's Academy Award for cinematography is well deserved as it succeeds in making the island of Crete one of the main characters of the film.

	DVD Savant Review: Zorba the Greek
		Zorba the Greek was a smash hit in 1964, cleaning up in the market left behind by the beloved Never on Sunday four years earlier.
		Basil is incapable of coming to the widow's aid, and although Zorba initially intercedes, he too abandons her to a horrible fate.
		Zorba comforts the dying lady (in the film's best scene) and Basil asks whether she'll be buried properly, which is more concern than he had for Pappas' unlucky widow.

		Enchanted by Zorba who feels pity for her, Madame Hortense starts to believe that she has finally found a man of her dreams, and gives her soul and body to him.

	Zorba The Greek: Fox Studio Classics (1964)
		Zorba courts too many women, endures perils in the mine that scare off the other workers, and defies a group of men seeking vengeance on a young widow who has rejected their advances.
		At first I thought Zorba would be one of those flicks in which the uptight white dude learns to loosen up and live life to its fullest.
		Zorba the Greek appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 1.85:1 on this double-sided DVD-14; the image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.

		He is "adopted" by the flamboyant Zorba, who determines to educate Bates in the ways of the world-or, to be more precise, Zorba's world.
		Other disasters follow, but Zorba is able to convince Bates that failure is an inescapable part of life, and that only by constantly tasting defeat can one truly enjoy life's victories.
		Zorba lives each day as though he is to be taken out and shot the next.

	Zorba the Greek
		The universe for Zorba, as for the first men on earth, was a weighty, intense vision; the stars glided over him, the sea broke against his temples.
		Zorba, however, has the luxury of being uneducated and thus “uncontaminated” by the artificial certainties of “knowledge”—simplifications of “truth” that assume it is expressible in a language and that it is understandable to all.
		Zorba embodies and embraces all of earth unconditionally, lovingly, curiously; one gets the impression that he was truly borne of this earth, would know all of the earth’s secrets and would easily be able to root himself anywhere.

		On a boat to Crete, Zorba meets Basil, an English writer who is traveling to Crete because he wants to utilize the land left to him by his father.
		The moment Zorba and Basil drive into the village everyone wants to be their friend and house them.

		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.
		Zorba is one of the great lovable rogues of cinema history, maybe even the most memorable.
		Zorba and Basil go through so much together, running the full gamut of human emotions, that by the perfectly realized ending (the best I can recall in recent or distant memory, outside of Fellini's La Strada maybe [another Quinn movie, incidentally]), this viewer was breaking down in sheer joy/release/catharsis.

		"Zorba the Greek" is written and directed by Michael Cacoyannis, based on the novel by Nikos Kazantzakis.

		He makes Zorba a man of the soil and the loins but never exaggerates the accent or gestures.
		By daring to be deeply, classically tragic, Zorba the Greek justifies its title character's insistence on the richness of life.

		Imagine "Zorba the Greek" crossed with "The Nutty Professor" and you'll have a pretty accurate picture of Nick Epiotis '65.
		Like Katzanzakis' exuberant Zorba, Epiotis has an uncommon zest for life, even in the midst of adversity.
		He says with fondness that "Ripon taught me the 'sensuality of understanding,' which is the hallmark of my lectures now at every level." Epiotis infuses his own classes with this same passion and pleasure for learning that he has had since he was an undergraduate in the Midwest.

		The Zorba film succeeded as most of the roles were played by well-known Greek movie actors of the early 1960s.
		Anthony Quinn is one of the very few foreign actors who could successfully imitate a Greek character.
		Anyone who was enthralled with the film should try and get hold of the book (available in French and English) or if able to read Greek the original version as inevitably some things get lost in translation.
