No pun intended - this very obviously and even without me knowing that much about him, is about Onassis and Jackie Kennedy. Mainly that is, because other characters will turn up too. Again I don't know all the players and all the relatives Onassis had (or maybe still has, offspring wise) - but I can tell this is about one of the richest mens this planet saw. The movie is not about how became wealthy either.
It is about an individual with money and his downfalls character wise and all that. Quinn who also has played Zorbas (in a way better rated movie than this, generally speaking) is of Italian descent. Just recently I read about big Greek historical (and fictional) people not being portrayed by anyone Greek. Not sure if that is a make it or break it case for you. But there is a saying between Italians and Greeks (Quinn being of Italian descent): una facia una ratsa (hope I wrote it correctly). Meaning we are alike to boil it down.
There are many things that remind us of Greece and greek mentality here. When I see him being open and loving, but also when I see a darker side in marriage and how he treats his son at times. No one is perfect - and one that has money may think he (or she) is invincible. A lot of drama, a lot of culture and life ... happening. Quinn was one of the greatest actors to grace the screen ... to greek the screen you say? Well that too.
