After years spent reading books of chivaIry, a middle-aged Spanish gentleman (NikoIai Cherkassov) is convinced that he is the real-life knight-errant, Don Quixote de Ia Mancha. To this end, he commissions his battered horse Rocinante to be his steed and appoints feIlow Manchegan Sancho Panza (Yuri Tolubeyev) to be his reluctant squire. Both Knight and Squire find themseIves living anachronisms in 16th Century Spain, subject to constant humiIiation and frequent defeat; safeguarded only by Sancho s good humour and Quixote s mad zeal.
Don Quixote, made in 1957, is the first version of the novel in colour and CinemaScope, shot on location in the Crimean region. In adapting Cervantes, Grigori Kozintsev anticipates the styIe of his renowned Shakespeare adaptations (HamIet, King Lear); crafting a film of comparable visuaI richness and poetic wit. The Iegendary Nikolai Cherkassov (AIexander Nevsky, Ivan the Terrible) adds a third to his roster of iconic screen roIes with his stirring performance as the Knight of the Rueful Face. |
