Man of La Mancha (1972)
Director: Arthur Hiller
Movie review
From Time Out London
Basically it’s the Broadway musical filmed to the tune of 11 million dollars, and its best moments remain resolutely the theatrical ones: O’Toole becoming the peaky, transparent knight Quixote before your very eyes by way of rubber mask and wig, for instance. The desultory tilting at windmills succeeds less well — ironically in a production which stresses the need for the victory of the imagination. idealism tends to be translated as sentimentality.Author:
