Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:About Шаблон:Infobox television
Шаблон:Lang is a Spanish prime-time television series based on the 17th century novel Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes. Produced by Emiliano Piedra for Televisión Española, it was directed by Manuel Gutiérrez Aragón, with screenplay by Camilo José Cela and starring Fernando Rey as Don Quixote and Alfredo Landa as Sancho Panza. Its five episodes adapting the first part of the novel were broadcast on La Primera of Televisión Española in 1992.
Plot
Alonso Quixano, a nobleman from La Mancha of about fifty years of age and of medium economic position, is so enthused by the books of chivalry that he decides to become a knight-errant under the name of Don Quixote and to go out on adventures accompanied by his faithful squire Sancho. The special madness of Don Quixote and Sancho's fascination with the words of his lord are revealed little by little, in contrast to the brutality and ridicule that both well-intentioned characters are subjected to by those they try to help.
Production
The adaptation project of Don Quixote for television was born with Pilar Miró as General Director of RTVE. It was Televisión Española's most ambitious production up to that date. The initial intention was to make a series with a first part of eight episodes adapting the first part of the novel, directed by Manuel Gutiérrez Aragón, and a second of ten episodes adapting the second part, directed by Mario Camus,[1] but the economic situation of the network reduced the first part of the series to five episodes and the second to four episodes.[2]
Emiliano Piedra, the producer responsible for the adaptation, began the preparations for the first part in 1989 with a budget of 1.2 billion pesetas, with screenplay by Camilo José Cela and with Fernando Rey as Don Quixote and Alfredo Landa as Sancho Panza.[3] Cela wrote an initial script, but it was a literal transcription of the novel with no cinematographic meaning, so it had to be completely rewritten. Despite this, he was kept in the credits both for the prestige that his name gave to the project and for the outlay that his work had entailed.[4] Principal photography took from April to December 1990, with the interiors shot at TVE's Buñuel studios in Madrid and the exteriors on location in the Community of Madrid and La Mancha.[5] The first five episodes premiered on La Primera of Televisión Española in January 1992.[2]
Gutiérrez Aragón prepared new scripts in the summer of 1992 for the second part,[6] but the network's financial problems and the impossibility of bringing together the same team after the death of producer Emiliano Piedra made it impossible to film it.[5] He eventually wrote and directed a feature film titled Don Quixote, Knight Errant adapting the second part of the novel with Juan Luis Galiardo as Don Quixote and Carlos Iglesias as Sancho Panza that was released in 2002.[7]
