El Cid

Two Stars:˜˜

All the pageantry 1961 Tinsel Town could muster could not save the worst script ever written. Compounded by cheeseball acting, this bank-busting production just leaves audiences groaning. Charlton Heston was obviously too old for such a role, but Hollywood refused to admit that the wheels had come off their epic movie-making machine. The overly dramatic looks, the poorly staged fight scenes, and especially the constant fanfare make this the best worst movie ever.
