Editorial Reviews

She was the most famous woman in the world. He was a peasant, a pirate, a shark. The Greek Tycoon is the story of their fiery romance. Anthony Quinn portrays Theo Tomasis - the world's richest and most flamboyant shipping magnate, a man who seemingly has everything he could want - who reaches out and captures his final prize: lovely, expensive, legendary Liz Cassidy (Jacqueline Bisset), widow of a President of the United States. This lavishly mounted drama which focuses on the international jet set's continual struggle for love and power was filmed in Corfu, Athens, London, New York and Washington, D.C. against backdrops and breathtaking beauty and luxury.

This review is from: Greek Tycoon, The [VHS] (VHS Tape)

There is a scene in "The Greek Tycoon" that I consider the best scene of the film...

It was Sunset... The sun was disappearing below the horizon... The sea at its ever-changing wave style... The waves--in all its moods, clear and calm, mysterious, awesomely threatening-- were beating under the old rocks...

Anthony Quinn (fabulous as always) was standing alone in front of this wonderful view...

The sky was offering the best looking effects of red and yellow lights... In the horizon some pale clouds were escorting the sun to another world... Tomasis was truly flavoring the moment... The beauty of this great view invited him to dance, to slowly move his hands and legs, to feel the fresh air, to hear the sound of music, to smell the salt of the sea...

Tomasis' dance was a farewell to a world he cherished... This beautiful scene makes me meditate about human life: God's 'greatest gift'... Sometimes we forget this precious present...

The tape was of excellent quality. Shame they cannot make this one in a DVD format though.
