A 1965 musical based on ''[[Don Quixote]]'', or more precisely, the man behind ''[[Don Quixote]]'', author Miguel De Cervantes. One day, he and his faithful manservant are arrested by [[The Spanish Inquisition]]. As they await trial, their fellow prisoners put them on trial. With all of his possessions on the line, De Cervantes decides to put on a show as his defense. Care to guess which one?
Line 16:
There was also a 1972 film version starring [[Peter O'Toole]] and [[Sophia Loren]].
