It's hard to imagine a finer Don Quixote than Peter O'Toole, who's spent most of his career with a slightly mad, dreaming look in his marvelous eyes. O'Toole's suitability for the role is tested by the Broadway treatment of Man of La Mancha, the film version of the hit stage musical. Everybody knows "The Impossible Dream," that indomitable hymn to, well, quixotic questing, and it is indeed the best of the Spanish-inflected songs. Despite the location shooting in Italy, Love Story director Arthur Hiller can't elude the stagey concept (in which Cervantes, imprisoned by the Inquisition, acts out the tale of Don Quixote for his fellow prisoners). James Coco, as Sancho Panza, is overshadowed by the film's irresistible Dulcinea: Sophia Loren, at her mature peak. (Her singing, alas, is not as ripe as her beautiful self.) If you love Cervantes for his earthy ironies, this movie will seem a curious slice of inspirational shtick. --Robert Horton

I have not watched this yet. I bought it for my English 11 classes. I will be interested to see the film's take on the Don.

One of my favorite musicals of all time with a classic cast of actors. Peter O'Toole is always brillant and Sophia Loren was superb. A must have in your library if you are a fan of musicals and classic storybooks such as Don Quixote.

Having played Cervantes/Quixote in my college's production years ago, I have always had a special fondness for Man of La Mancha, and for years was reluctant to watch the movie based on previews I'd seen. What troubled me the most was the idea of having many of the scenes actually taking place in locations like the inn or having Quixote actually fight a real windmill, instead of leaving the entire story unfold in the prison cell, and, using sparse costuming and clever staging, calling upon the imagination ...

The Man of LaMancha was better than I'd hoped for, however... Delivery was timely although the supplier sent no notice as to when or if it had been shipped, disappointing. I'd hesitate using that supplier again if alternatives were available.
