Review of El Cid (1961)

By Abdurahman M (89) on 06 Oct 2008

Sophia Loren shares the screen with a scene-stealing Charlton Heston in this adaptation of the classic play. It's a bit overdone, but it doesn't suck…

By Jamie T (429) on 12 Sep 2008

Despite a typically commanding performance by Heston, and strong support from the gorgeous Loren (the acting is general is fairly good), this…

One of the truly great movies of alltime when it was not all about special effects and crap acting…

Review of El Cid (1961)

By Mat K (131) on 28 Jul 2008

A great big epic. Big story, big sets, big names, big drama, big budget, great costumes, and a cast of litterally thousands…

Review of El Cid (1961)

By Bill F (266) on 21 Jul 2008

Overlong 60s epic. Heston is heroic, Sophia is pretty, Herbert Lom is a moorish prince :)…
