Product Description
Album Description
Flamboyantly charismatic Peter O'Toole lights up the screen in this offbeat but colorful adaptation of the 1965 stage musical adapted from Miguel de Cervantes' Don Quixote. O'Toole tackles a dual role, playing both Cervantes and his classic character with style and verve.
He's delightful as Quixote, the 17th-century Spaniard afflicted with a dementia that makes him think he's a medieval knight, duty-bound to uphold the age of chivalry and vanquish evildoers. James Coco plays his loyal sidekick, Sancho Panza, and Sophia Loren fills the role of Dulcinea, the peasant woman whom Quixote would champion. Director Arthur Hiller doesn't overly concern himself with the book from the original show, written by Dale Wasserman; instead, he makes the film a vehicle for the Mitch Leigh-Joe Darion music. O'Toole gets the memorable numbers (including the beloved standard The Impossible Dream) and performs them in grand manner, even though his singing is dubbed by British actor-singer Simon Gilbert. MAN OF LA MANCHA excels in other areas, too: sets, costumes, photography, and choreography are all first-rate. But the dynamic O'Toole is the glue that holds the whole film together, and it would be worth owning if only for his marvelous performance.
Laurence Rosenthal earned an Academy Award nomination for his adaptation of the songs and score.
It's a classic musical from the studio that produced the legendary Academy-Award winner Fiddler on the Roof.
