Storyline
In Spain, in the sixteenth century, an elderly gentleman named Don Quixote has gone mad from reading too many books on chivalry. Proclaiming himself a knight, he sets out with his squire, Sancho Panza, to reform the world and revive the age of chivalry, choosing a slut to be his noble lady Dulcinea. He mistakes inns for castles, a play about chivalry for the real thing, flocks of sheep for armies, convicts for wronged prisoners, and windmills for giants. While he and Sancho are off on their adventures, his niece, her fiancee, and the local priest think up a strategy to get him back home. Written by Albert Sanchez Moreno

Trivia
In Orson Welles documentary, The Filming of 'The Trial', he claims that Michael Salkind produced this version of Don Quixote, which he calls 'Don Quixote of Chaliapin'. See more »Alternate Versions
In the 1990s, Eklipse Records released a videocassette featuring both English and French versions of this film. The video runs a total of 120 minutes, with each version of the film clocking in at 60 minutes. On the video, the English version omits the moment in which Don Quixote's niece pleads for him not to leave, as well as the brief moments in which the housekeeper finds that Don Quixote has gone, and in which Sancho Panza escapes his pursuing wife. These scenes can be seen in the French version. However, the French version has no subtitles, at least not on videocassette. The English and French versions of the film have both recently been released on DVD. See more »Frequently Asked Questions

For me, this film is defined by the printed paper and his metamorphosis. The bustle, the delicate ash, the music are principal words of Cervantes masterpiece definition. So, the film must be a success at least for impressive presence of Chaliapin.
In fact, it is not a film but a huge monument, the Baroque interpretation of Chaliapin has the talent to create a fantastic world.The pathetism of opera is part of gorgeous sophisticated fine expression
Only values for a verdict in this case are subjectives. A legend of Russian Opera is Don Quixote. Every feature of character is slice of a subtle science of chimera's revelation. Every gesture is a form to describe sweet secret of fragile world. And Chaliapin is Chaliapin.
But, more important, it is statute of testimony. The trip between symbols and facts, between refuges and truth. "Don Quixote" is not a ordinary picturization, it is a propaganda instrument.
The three versions, "Man and Mask", the recordings , Mefistofele, the shows in Europe and the fame are elements of a special artist portrait who gives to his character not only a special soul but a subtle vision about life and illusion.
I believe that this movie was for Chaliapin an adventure. His art is same, his acting is interesting and correct. For he, the hero from La Mancha is an alter-ego not ordinary character. So, the force of interpretation is charming, strong and pure.
