A film adaptation of the 1964 Broadway musical "Man of La Mancha" by Dale Wasserman, which is adapted from Wasserman's non-musical 1959 teleplay "I, Don Quixote", which was in turn inspired by Miguel de Cervantes and his 17th-century masterpiece Don Quixote.

From case cover:
Academy Award winners Peter O'toole and Sophia Loren are magnificent in this lavishly produced and beautifully acted epic masterpiece. Featuring an Oscar-nominated score with the classic 'The Impossible Dream, this truly beautiful musical is an experience not to be missed!
Jailed during the Spanish Inquisition for offending the church, author Miguel de Cervantes (O'toole) is forced to act out one of his manuscripts for the entertainment of fellow inmates. Cervantes delivers a rapturous performance as the legendary Don Quixote, the chivalrous knight whose choice to see life as it should be, not as it is, takes him into battles with an imaginary foe and into romance with the beautiful Dulcinea (Loren).

From IMDb:
The funny story of mad but kind and chivalrous elderly nobleman Don Quixote who, aided by his squire Sancho Panza, fights windmills that are seen as dragons to save prostitute Dulcinea who is seen as a noblewoman.
