Zorba the Greek 1964.
Zorba played by Anthony Quinn says to his boss p[layed by Alan Bates: " A man needs a little madness or else he never dares cut the rope and be free".
Here we have the indomitable human spirit's triumph over a temporary setback, this is how Zorba sees it; and it is infectious, for we see the uptight Alan Bates loosening up, having a laugh about it and he starts to dance.
Walter Lassally won the Oscar for the great cinematography, Mikis Theodorakis wrote the immortal music and Michael Cacoyannis directed.
Based on a novel by the Greek literary giant Nikos Kazantzakis. Shot on the island of Crete.

    REMINDS ME OF ANTHONY QUINN

  • @theoGnRfan As I stated in a previous posting, I agree that Crete is a part of Greece. I had meant not part of mainland Greece.

  • @lazurm

    Crete is Greece dude...

  • @lazurm No, no, thanks a lot, i m not interested in placing any bets for the time being.... lol

  • @vabilas28 Well if you'll still bet that money, how much will you bet? I'll kick in 1K to any number you come up with! :)

  • @lazurm hmmm... and yet, i was so damn sure it was filmed in Rhodes, i d bet money on it

  • @vabilas28 If you go to Wikipedia you'll see that it was filmed in Crete. Additionally, I went to Google Earth and found the EXACT location of the filming. In doing so, I actually set my position exactly where the camera was in the last, ending seen as the film credits were scrolling. Everything was exactly there. This is confirmed in numerous other areas on the Net. Check it out yourself, you'll see. That seen was on the Akirotiri Peninsula near the village of Stavros.

  • @lazurm No, it was filmed in Rhodes. The hero on Kazantzaki's book is Cretan

  • @vabilas28 It was filmed in Crete which, as you correctly pointed out, is a part of Greece. What I meant was that the place where the filming took place was not on the mainland of Greece and I incorrectly and incompletely mispoke. I did, though, skip at least one geography lesson, but that was long ago! :)
