Movie Review: Man of La Mancha by Peter O'Toole
Summary: 2 Stars
It was okay. I was expecting more action. I fell asleep on some parts of the movie.
Summary of Man of La Mancha
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 HortonAcademy Award? winners* Peter O Toole and Sophia Loren are magnificent in this lavishly produced (LA Herald-Examiner) and beautifully acted (The New York Times) epic masterpiece. Featuring an Oscar?-nominated** score with the classic The Impossible Dream this original and daring (Films & Filming) musical is an experience not to be missed!Jailed during the Spanish Inquisition for offending the church author Miguel de Cervantes (O Toole) is forced to act out one of his manuscripts for the entertainment of fellow inmates. Cervantes delivers a rapturous performance as the legendary Don Quixote the chivalrous knight whose choice to see life as it should be not as it is takes him into battles with an imaginary foe and into romance with the beautiful Dulcinea (Loren).Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA Rating: PG UPC: 027616903983 Manufacturer No: 1006196
