Product Description
Review

Chicago Sun-Times, 08/27/1993, p.41, "...It is not only a spectacle the likes of which we may never see again, but also brings an elegance to the form not much seen before its release, either..."

New York Times, 01/29/2008, "[A] feast of visual detail....The film overflows with deep-focus vistas, towering sets, densely crowded battle sequences and the imposing presence of two remarkable physical specimens, Charlton Heston and Sophia Loren."

Sight and Sound, 04/01/2008, p.89, "[I]t's clear that the director relished working in 70mm and having such rich resources at his disposal. As a spectacle, it's muscular and more dynamic than most."

Product Notes

A widely acclaimed Hollywood spectacle which tells the story of the 11th century Spanish hero who drove the Moors from Spain. The restored version was overseen by Martin Scorsese and is uncut and remastered. Academy Award Nominations: 2, including Best Scoring of a Dramatic or Comedy Picture, Best Song ("The Falcon and the Dove").
