Rating

- EL CID
CHARLTON HESTON IS EXCELLENT IN THIS DRAMATIC PRESENTATION OF A MAN THAT GIVES UP HIS OWN PLEASURES OF A QUIET FAMILY LIFE TO FIGHT A BATTLE FOR JUSTICE.

Rating

- El Cid
El Cid is poorly written, poorly acted, and the actors motivations seem to come from nowhere.

Rating

- Anthony Mann's classic spectacle
The great director Anthony Mann after having made many Westerns with James Stewart entered into the arena of classic spectacles with this riveting adventure. Heston & Loren are perfectly matched though during screening they developed an intense dislike to each other to the degree that when Mann cast his next film, "The Fall of the Roman Empire" with Loren--she requested that Heston not be her co-star (it went to the wooden Stephen Boyd instead). Nevertheless, they are marvelous together and if you happen to attend a revival showing of this film in Ultra Panavision--do see it. I was fortunate enough to see this film in that wide format (2.75) several years ago in Berkeley but the Miriam edition is an excellent remastering.Compared to the over-rated, ponderous "Ben Hur", "El Cid" showcases Heston at his best particularly in the final scenes as the fallen hero riding to his eventual fate as mythic hero. Exciting swordfights, splendant Spanish landscapes, the beauty of Loren and Anthony Mann's superb direction make this an all time winner which can be appreciated on a large screen (50' and above) flat panel HDTV. Totally recommended.
