Based on the classic novel written by Miguel De Cervantes, Don Quixote is considered one of the most influential works of literature from the Spanish Golden Age and the entire Spanish literary canon and deemed to be one of the greatest novels in literature history. The film is quite amusing with emphasis on spectacle and following faithfully the immortal novel scripted by Nobel winner Camilo Jose Cela.
This enduring romantic adventure deals the enthusiast, passionate knight Don Quixote and it is paced in enjoyable as well as deliberate rhythm. This is the amazing and fun story of a Hidalgo, fanatic for chivalry novels, decides to go on imaginary adventures along with his friend, the simple farmer Sancho Panza, who becomes his squire. On their journeys, they rescue dames in distress in honorable acts and fight giants among other perils, with Don longing to be with the love of his life, lady Dulcinea, and Sancho waiting to be rewarded with an island where he's about to become a governor. Adapted from the work of Miguel de Cervantes, we then follow Don Quixote on their adventures, his squire Sancho Panza and an old horse named Rocinante. Quijote, nearing fifty and some years of age, recruits a simple farmer, Sancho Panza (Alfredo Landa), as his squire, who often employs a unique, earthy wit in dealing with Don Quixote's rhetorical orations on antiquated knighthood. To these ends, ¨Alonso Quixano¨ dons an old suit of armour, renames himself "Don Quixote", names his exhausted horse "Rocinante", and designates Aldonza Lorenzo, a neighboring farm girl, as his lady love, renaming her Dulcinea del Toboso.
Splendid series follows the adventures of a nameless Hidalgo who reads so many chivalric romances that he loses his sanity and decides to set out to revive chivalry, undo wrongs, and bring justice to the world, under the name Don Quixote (Fernando Rey). This is TV film version of "Don Quixote" to be notably faithful to the book.
