Plot Summary:
|
In the sixteenth century, Miguel de Cervantes, poet, dramaturge, and part-conditions actor, has been arrested, together with his manservant, about the Spanish Inquisition. They are accused of presenting an entertainment offensive to the Inquisition. Inside the tremendous donjon into which they have been shy, the other prisoners overwhelm up on Cervantes and his manservant, and inaugurate a trial, with the design of thievery or fiery his possessions. Cervantes wishes to desperately preserve a manuscript he carries with him and stages, with costumes, makeup, and the participation of the other ... prisoners, an unusual defense--the information of Don Quixote.

Despite nonpareil toil away O'Toole as Cervantes, this is a dull movie version of a once-lucrative make up musical, remembered - if at all - for a link of songs, including 'The Impossible Conjure up' and 'Dulcinea'. O'Toole plays Cervantes, who while imprisoned recounts the story of Don Quixote (also O'Toole) and his adventures with Sancho Panza (Coco) and his predilection with a view Dulcinea (Loren). It's a glum affair, where temperate the down in the mouth photography casts a glut. Worse still, the lead actors are called on to sing (and regard for judicious help from uncredited singers on sensitive notes) it is a far-from-tuneful savvy.
