Zorba screened at Wagstaffe

Documentary film producer Mr Mike Rubbo and the Bouddi Society will present a Movie Classic Night at Wagstaffe Hall on Tuesday, October 23.

Zorba the Greek, starring Anthony Quinn, Alan Bates and Irene Papas, will be screening at 7.30pm.

The film was first released in 1964 and won three Oscars for best supporting actress, best art direction and best cinematography in black and white.

The film is about a young bookish Englishman who comes to Crete to inherit his father's property.

There he befriends Zorba, who teaches him about love, passion and living for the simple pleasures of life.

Entry into the film is $12 for Bouddi Society members, $15 for non-members and $5 for students.

Entry fee includes refreshments.

Vice-president of the Bouddi Society Mr David Dufty said the night was a great opportunity to go back in time and enjoy films people may have forgotten about.

"These film nights have met a need to revive these fine older films," Mr Dufty said.
