About the Item

Original U. S. one sheet Zorba the Greek vintage movie poster. Linen backed. NSS: 65/70. Very fine condition and ready to frame. Starring: Anthony Quinn, Alan Bates, Irene Papas. Alan Bates and Irene Papas. A young British writer (Bates) comes to Crete to find himself working at his father's mine. He meets Zorba, an itinerant Greek laborer (Quinn), and they take lodgings together with an aging courtesan, who Zorba soon romances. On the other hand, the writer is attracted to a lovely young widow. When she responds to him, the townsmen jealously attack her. Zorba teaches the young man the necessary response to life and its tragedies. Based on a novel by Nikos Kazantzakis. Masterpiece performance from Quinn. Beautifully photographed, somewhat overlong. The film was later written for a stage production. An aimless Englishman finds he has a small inheritance on a Greek island. His joyless existence is disturbed when he meets Zorba, a middle-aged Greek with a real lust for life. As he discovers the earthy pleasures of Greece, the Englishman finds his view on life-changing. Linen backed with the originally issued fold marks flattened. No paper loss. Excellent colors that show a medium blue Mediterranean. Of course, what other color could be used for the Greek Islands?
