Zorba the Greek | Adaptations
English-speaking audiences know Zorba not only from the translation of the novel, but also from the highly successful motion picture (1964) popular during the 1960s; Anthony Quinn starred in the title role. Lila Kedrova won an Academy Award for best supporting actress for her performance in the motion picture; Walter Lassally won an Academy Award for his cinematography. The story also served as the basis for a Broadway musical in the early 1980s, with Quinn recreating his screen role on stage.
