10/10
Originally a stage play, this adaptation shows us the loyalty friendship and honor that make Don Quixote and Sancho Panza's adventures still resonate.

A different vision of that melancholy gentleman, Don Quixote de la Mancha and his adventures with his loyal friend Sancho Panza. Don Quixote lives obsessed with his role as a wandering gentleman and the codes of honor that accompany his chosen life, but it's Sancho Panza who makes us see the real person behind all the posturing. It's a wonderfully nostalgic movie, that although is not quite a true adaptation of the stage play by the same name, nevertheless is able to make us laugh and tries to teach the values of humility, loyalty, true love, honor and friendship. The costumes were quite well done and the general feel of the movie was fun yet honest. It took me back to my childhood and watching old movies in Spanish with my father at home. Mario Moreno, "Cantinflas" does an excellent job and his comedic timing is as always excellent!
