No one's going to defend "El Cid" on acting or dramatic merit, but its heads and shoulders above the rest of Medieval Epic genre in spectacle and cinematic quality. Mann used 70mm very well for dramatic effect. And it has interesting story with some current interest because of the subject.

Being Irish, he had an abiding sense of tragedy, which sustained him through temporary periods of joy - WB Yeats

I liked El Cid, just don't think it has the terrific central - tinear 15:58:19 01/23/08 (0)
performance which the other two do. Brando and Peck are hard to beat, as well as the great supporting casts.
The only two supporting roles I remember in El Cid are Sophia's right and left boobs.
