The reason the see this musical is to watch the gorgeous young Sophia Loren sing. The watching is more fun than the listening. When she is on screen, you just have to stare at her, in this otherwise overblown and confusing film that really is not much of a musical at all. Peter O'Toole is a great actor, but he cannot sing (and is not particularly well dubbed). The men in the chorus seem to know what they are doing, but none of the principals does any dancing. One wonders what Miguel de Cervantes would make of this curious reinvention of his 1605 novel, Don Quixote.
