Review of El Cid (1961) by Erik W — 03 Feb 2008
This movie was just released on DVD recently and I just saw it. It is FANTASTIC. Charlton Heston and Sophia Loren are perfect for their roles. The DVD gives more justice to Robert Krasker's widescreen cinematography which is reduced significantly on the VHS version due to the pan and scan format.
This film received two Academy Award nominations for Art Direction and Miklos Rozsa's triumphant musical score which just has to be one of his best score he's ever composed. If you like historical movies or just movies in general, check this one out.
Those of you who are looking for this on DVD, it's now available on DVD.
