Mark Knows It All

DON'T FORGET TO VISIT: MARK KNOWS IT ALL: THE WEBSITE Before there was My Big Fat Greek Wedding , there was Zorba, The Greek , one of my favorite movies. Where is your madness? It’s four in the morning, and my insomnia wins out again as I turn on the television to see what early morning viewing could be had. Sandwiched between an informercial for hair replacement, and an infomercial for hair removal, there was Zorba, dancing on the beach on AMC. I was 14 when the Michael Cacoyannis cinematic masterpiece came onto the scene. My first impression of the movie was its wonderful music. My folks thought the movie was too racy for me to see (it was 1964 and Bambi was considered "morally objectionable"), but they bought the soundtrack and played it over and over again. When I finally saw the movie a year or two after its release, it was fun to see what went with the music that was so indelibly burned into my brain. It was filmed in black and white, which made it kind of artsy. T
