It is truly odd and ironic that the most handsome and impressive film yet made from Miguel De Cervantes' `` Don Quixote '' is the brilliant Russian spectacle, done in wide screen and color, which opened yesterday at the Fifty-fifth Street and Sixty-eighth Street Playhouses.

Nikolai Cherkasov, the Russian actor who has played such heroic roles as Alexander Nevsky and Ivan the Terrible, performs the lanky Don Quixote, and does so with a simple dignity that bridges the inner nobility and the surface absurdity of this poignant man.

True, the pattern and flow of the drama have strong literary qualities that are a bit wearisome in the first half, before Don Quixote goes to the duke's court.

Maria Tallchief and Erik Bruhn, who danced the `` Nutcracker '' pas de deux, were also seen in the Petipa-Minkus pas de deux from `` Don Quixote '', another brilliant showpiece that displayed their technical prowess handsomely.

The texts for his course include the Bible, translations of Ovid, Hamlet, Don Quixote, Montaigne's essays, Pepys's diary, Richardson's Pamela, and Franklin's autobiography.

The first a pastoral opera, L ' amore innocente ( Innocent Love ) was a light hearted comedy set in the Austrian mountains, and the second was based on an episode from Cervantes Don Quixote – Don Chisciotte alle nozze di Gamace ( Don Quixote at the Marriage of Camacho ).

The first written reference is found in a book by the Spanish author Miguel de Cervantes, who is most famous for writing Don Quixote.

(; ), fully titled The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha (), is a novel written by Miguel de Cervantes.

The novel follows the adventures of Alonso Quijano, a hidalgo who reads so many chivalric novels, that he decides to set out to revive chivalry under the name of Don Quixote.

Published in two volumes a decade apart, in 1605 and 1615, Don Quixote is considered the most influential work of literature from the Spanish Golden Age and the entire Spanish literary canon.

In one such list, Don Quixote was cited as the " best literary work ever written ".

He dons an old suit of armour, renames himself " Don Quixote de la Mancha ," and names his skinny horse " Rocinante ".

Don Quixote next " frees " a young boy who is tied to a tree and beaten by his master by making his master swear on the chivalric code to treat the boy fairly.

Don Quixote has a run-in with traders from Toledo, who " insult " the imaginary Dulcinea, one of whom severely beats Don Quixote and leaves him on the side of the road.

Don Quixote is found and returned to his home by a neighboring peasant.

While Don Quixote is unconscious in his bed, his niece, the housekeeper, the parish curate, and the local barber secretly burn most of the books of chivalry, and seal up his library pretending that a magician has carried it off.

After a short period of feigning health, Don Quixote approaches his neighbor, Sancho Panza, and asks him to be his squire, promising him governorship of an island.

About September, however, a spurious Part Two, entitled Second Volume of the Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha: by the Licenciado ( doctorate ) Alonso Fernández de Avellaneda, of Tordesillas, was published in Tarragona by an unidentified Aragonese who was an admirer of Lope de Vega, rival of Cervantes.
