Alexis Zorba --------------------------------   Zorba (Anthony Quinn) with a lascivious look lays the gentle order, ' Two beds Madam. Without bugs! ' Mme Hortense defiantly tilts her head and answers proudly, ' Mme has not THE bugs! ' Anthony Quinn The bookish intellectual Basil  (Alan Bates)  who  has appeared unaffected  by  the collective vertigo experienced on the boat taking them to Crete,  did not seem interested in this outward  and stimulated first-time exchange between his newly-found companion, a robust natural philosopher named Alexis Zorbas and this old  lady who rushed  Lila Kedrova to offer them her  hospitality services in her own ( Marriot ) of a d...
