The director is Anthony Mann, the producer is Samuel Bronston. The film is huge. A cast literally of thousands, real castles and massive battle scenes.
Charlton Heston is the legendary Spanish knight fighting to save his country from the Moors while dealing with a worthless King. Sophia Loren is his impossibly beautiful wife and the rest of the cast is the usual bunch of British actors hired to class these kind of films up.
They don't make them like this anymore and they never will again. Viewing the film just for the large scale production values is certainly worth it. The film also has a very memorable ending.
The film was written by Philip Yordan, Fredric M. Frank and Ben Barzman. It has an epic running time of 184 minutes.
