Der Mann von La Mancha (1972)
Der glücklose Schriftsteller Cervantes fristet sein Dasein im Kerker. Die spanische Inquisition wirft ihm Gotteslästerung vor. Als ihn seine Mitgefangenen nötigen, den Inhalt eines Manuskriptes preiszugeben, erblüht im Inneren des tristen Gefängnisses die fabelhafte Welt des Ritters der traurigen Gestalt. Die Mitgefangenen werden zu Protagonisten in dem großen phantastischen Meisterwerk des Cervantes, der seinen Don Quichotte gegen Windmühlen kämpfen lässt, in der einfachen Magd Aldonza das Idealbild aller Frauen, seine Dulcinea, erblickt und stets darum bemüht ist, Recht und Ordnung durch seine Ritterlichkeit wiederherzustellen.
