Don Quijote cabalga de nuevo (English: Don Quijote Rides Again) is a 1973 Spanish-Mexican comedy film directed by Roberto Gavaldón,[1] loosely based on Miguel de Cervantes's novel Don Quixote and starring Cantinflas as Sancho Panza, Fernando Fernán Gómez as Don Quixote, and María Fernanda D'Ocón as Dulcinea.
Don Quijote is obsessed with chivalry and its codes of honour. Accompanied by his peculiar squire Sancho Panza, he embarks on a series of adventures in which he is mocked and tricked by some, while others try to help him recover his sanity. But neither Don Quixote nor Sancho give up trying to protect humanity.
The film was shown in the 2019 edition of the San Sebastian International Film Festival as part of a retrospective of Roberto Gavaldón's work.[2][3]
