However, their assignation has been observed by the jealous men of the village.

Directed by Jean Delannoy, the film stars Anthony Quinn as Quasimodo, the deformed bell-ringer of Notre Dame Cathedral, and Gina Lollobrigida as Esmeralda, the beautiful gypsy woman who captures his heart. Anthony Quinn, the Mexican-American actor, holds a distinctive place in the pantheon of Hollywood legends. His versatile and authentic performances have resulted in an impressive filmography spanning several decades. In a contemporary review for The New York Times, critic Bosley Crowther panned The 25th Hour as "... such a tasteless and pointless hodgepodge of deadly serious and crudely comic elements, of tragic historical allusions grossly garbled in specious movie terms, that it looms large as one of the most disreputable and embarrassing films in recent years ..." Crowther was especially critical of Anthony Quinn's character and performance: "... [T]here is no real continuity or real sincerity in the nature of the man. He ranges from an image of the poignant victim to one of a genial simpleton. And in all his shuddering misadventures, so darkly shadowed by the facts of history, he manifests no awareness of relation to the suffering of others or even a point of view. The only philosophical reaction registered by Mr. Quinn—or provided by his script writers—is one of confusion that this is happening to him. The impression transmitted by all this is one of utter insensitivity." [5] Merle: A message from the airforce, sir. In 10 minutes, they will be overhead to drop in reinforcements! Scheuer, Philip K.

Zorba the Greek ( Greek: Αλέξης Ζορμπάς, Alexis Zorbas) is a 1964 drama film written, produced, edited, and directed by Greek Cypriot filmmaker Michael Cacoyannis. It stars Anthony Quinn as Zorba, an earthy and boisterous Cretan peasant, and Alan Bates as the buttoned-up young intellectual he befriends. The cast also includes Lila Kedrova, Irene Papas, and Sotiris Moustakas. The musical score was composed by Mikis Theodorakis. The film is based on the 1946 novel The Life And Times Of Alexis Zorba by Nikos Kazantzakis. Though the film has elements of comedy, and Kazatzakis's anti-hero Zorba has been generally understood as a 'life-affirming' personality (faithfully reproduced in Cacoyannis's screenplay) it features a gruesome femicide, and Zorba's cynical, egotistical and manipulative personality and his determined optimism are explicity shown to be a response to, and in defiance of, the cruelties and vicissitudes of life.
