A Dream of Kings (1969)
Director: Daniel Mann
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Quinn doing his Zorba act as a cheerful Chicago loafer who despises money and spends his days brightening the neighbourhood (not to mention a sex-starved widow) with his life-giving presence. Insisting ad nauseam that as a Greek he belongs to a race of kings, he is brought down to earth only when he discovers that his small son is dying. Dripping with ludicrously overblown dialogue to match the performance.Author: TM
