It’s hard to understand why this film took so long to near on DVD. Perhaps, as some have suggested, the subject matter has been an swear in our over-sensitive, haunted world of religious violence. Or our discomfort with nebulous concepts of treasure, forgiveness and peace. But most likely a matter of rights and licensing issues.
The relevance of this amazing film remains new and is a monumental artistic achievements of world cinema. On a personal level, this terrific film provoked me into thinking about how thought systems — especially about the nature of God (or Allah) — encourage or damage our world.

The essence of the conflict between warring Castilians and Moors and an invading Muslim threat is unflinching in the opening scene as the North African holy warrior Ben Yussuf quotes “the Prophet” as promising to conquer the world in the name of Allah.
But the actual conflict is the belief that there can be peace — and perhaps even adore — between those who abhor. This is exemplified in the scared and intimate fable of Rodrigo (Charlton Heston) and Ximena (Sophia Loren) . It begins simply enough with a knight on his arrangement to meet his bride when destiny forces a detour.
El Cid, the legendary hero of Spain was a accurate person named Don Rodrigo Diaz de Bivar. He lived around 1035 A.D. Although he spent grand of his time fighting on the side of the Moors, he became identified as the best incarnation of the good Castilian Christian spirit. His name came from the Arabic “sayyid” meaning “lord” or “chief.”
Charlton Heston and Sophia Loren are perfectly cast as larger than life figures of flesh and blood. Their reported confllcts on-set probably added a degree of on-screen realism. They are extraordinary together. Too terrible Heston and Loren were not able to do a rotund, shared commentary at the time of the transfer.
Anthony Mann’s direction is robust and fair to the theme. The movie has a comely sense of composition that the terrific on-location cinematography only enhances. Numerous action-filled vistas own the veil, richly detailed and beautifully photographed. No CGI elements can rival the texture of a sincere residence captured on celluloid.
The fabulous inch of magnificent images and the sparkling Miklos Rozsa win are a reminder of what movies can do when they tackle a sterling narrative and go all the map.
EL CID is about a right hero who selflessly followed his accurate compass. It’s also a reasonably good adapataion of the essence of the numerous medieval tales, plays and poems — unlike the mangling of both poem and hero “Beowulf” in the original movie of the same name.
Amazing that this splendid paradox of a memoir — after all, El Cid was a warrior and peacemaker — continues to be told for a thousand years.
The extras on the second disc include sharp featurettes on producer Sam Bronston, director Anthony Mann and composer Miklos Rozsa as well as vintage radio interviews with Heston and Loren and a “making of” documentary.
The last scenes are a fitting epitaph for Charlton Heston the man and the actor. His passing is truly the raze of an era.
This huge movie deserves a space in any digital library. Don’t miss it.
Highest recommendation.
The 2 Disc Minute Collectors Edition is for a puny time only, comes in a box and contains a roadshow pressbook and vintage, itsy-bitsy, lobby cards. The film itself and DVD extras are identical with the alternate consumer edition.
Heston did so many ‘costumers’ it was easy to over glance objective how handsome some were and this is one of the best. My favourite is the quieter War Lord, but El Cid never fails to depart me. It works on many levels, the breathtaking legend, the adore anecdote between Heston and Loren, with the secondary characters, especially John Fraser and Herbert Lom, giving glorious performances. The jousting sequences outstanding, the space work panoramic….a proper experience.
