Film of the Week: El Cid

BBC One
on BBC One London

starring Charlton Heston, Sophia Loren with Gary Raymond, Raf Vallone, Genevieve Page, John Fraser
Charlton Heston plays the title role in this spectacular epic of 11th-century Spain when the country was divided between small Christian kingdoms and Moorish strongholds. From the confusion of warring factions there emerged an intrepid knight whose exploits earn him the name El Cid - 'the lord.'
