Synopsis:
An inhibited English writer goes to Crete where, at a lignite mine inherited from his father, he falls under the spell of the larger-than-life Zorba. The oddball duo moves into a hotel and romance flourishes with a dying prostitute and a glamorous widow. Memorable score by Mikis Theodorakis.
