I just found a VCR of this around somewhere for like AUD5 and had not seen it since the first time c15 years ago.
This would be a film that has had a role in changing the course of my life ...how about other Loungers?.
RE: the clothes
It it was made in 1965 from memory but is supposed to be in the late 40s or early 50s? Please advise as the clothes that Allan Bates wears seem to be that era or earlier in that uni prof Cambridge spy look.
The scene where Zorba gets caught up "in town" is a classic.
The other thing that hit home was the horrific "honour killing" (of the widow Irene Pappas) that is so much the talk of the UK at the moment in certain migrant communities.
Shows us that a lot of Europe is only a generation or two removed from what we see today manifested in other cultures.
