Dream of Kings, A

A powerful and touching drama set in Chicago's vibrant Greek-American community; A Dream of Kings benefits from the regal talent of Anthony Quinn in a role he was born to play: Matsoukos; a proud; earthy optimist; very much like his unforgettable stage and screen Zorba. Determined to take his ailing son with him to Greece; Matsukos would move all creation to secure the travel money; even risk the hard-earned respect and love he's won as a community counselor. But that money will eventually come to Matsukos in an unexpected way. Under Daniel Mann's skilled direction; an impeccable cast -- including Irene Papas as Matsukos' fiery wife; Sam Levene as his loyal friend and Inger Stevens as a lonely widow reawakened to life's potential -- helps make Matsukos' world as real as your own neighborhood.
