ADVENTURES OF DON QUIXOTE 1933 Georg Wilhelm Pabst - Nicolas Farkas STILL

Original 4 1/2 inch x 3 1/2 inch Still of director GEORG WILHELM PABST and cinematographer NICOLAS FARKAS waiting for the sun for their 1933 Adventure ADVENTURES OF DON QUIXOTE, based on the novel by Miguel de Cervantes.

In Spain, in the sixteenth century, an elderly gentleman named Don Quixote has gone mad from reading too many books on chivalry. Proclaiming himself a knight, he sets out with his squire, Sancho Panza, to reform the world and revive the age of chivalry, choosing a slut to be his noble lady Dulcinea. He mistakes inns for castles, a play about chivalry for the real thing, flocks of sheep for armies, convicts for wronged prisoners, and windmills for giants. While he and Sancho are off on their adventures, his niece, her fiancee, and the local priest think up a strategy to get him back home.
