Synopsis:
Alonzo Quixada, a middle-aged Spaniard, is so enthralled by knights' tales of gallantry, chivalry and adventure in the days of yore, that he renounces his old identity to become Don quixote De La Mancha. Dressed in ancient rusty armour and mounted on a broken down horse, he appoints Sancho Panza, a neighbouring peasant, to be his squire and believes a washerwoman to be the Lady Dulcinea, his muse. Don Quixote sets off on his chivalric quest for adventure and in his mind he jousts with magical giants (that are really windmills) and does battle against the evil wizard Malfatto but then reality and illness catch up with him.

Lithgow a la mancha - Don Quixote review by CP Customer

Spoiler Alert
25/06/2007

I tried to read the book several years ago and struggled as it was not my 'cup of tea' thought that I would give the film a go even though it was not highly rated.

Clearly this isn't an excellent film but I think that John Lithgow does a valient job of playing the deluded Alonzo Quixada.. he is well suited to the role!
