El Cid (1961)
Anthony Mann's 1961 Spanish reconquista epic. Charlton Heston as Rodrigo Diaz, Sophia Loren.
Director: Anthony Mann
Anthony Mann directed the James Stewart westerns, including The Naked Spur and The Man from Laramie, which gave Stewart the obsessive edge his prewar persona lacked. He also made El Cid and was removed from Spartacus early in production.
