# Event Details

- **Event Name**: EL CID- Wide Screen Roadshow Series
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 12 Jul, 2026 at 11:00 am
- **Event Description**: The rarely shown EL CID (1961), offered in a roadshow presentation at the Orinda Theatre for a single showing, Sunday, July 12th at 11 a.m., is among a handful of epics produced by Samuel Bronston, perhaps his best. The great "El Cid" of Spanish legend is brought to life on the screen by Charlton Heston as Rodrigo Diaz, a knight that knows a divided Spain can not stand as the nation is overrun by the invading Moors. 

Given further greatness by a remarkable score by Miklós Rózsa, Sophia Loren, Hurd Hatfield, Herbert Lom and Frank Thring enrich the cast.  All photographed in 70mm SuperTechnirama, which highlights the stunning vistas of Spain that no longer exists as beautifully today as you see it captured in the film on our giant Orinda Theatre screen. The 6.2 million dollar production (1961 dollars) was directed by Anthony Mann.

Dr. William Bronston, EL CID producer Samuel Bronston's son, was to appear to co-introduce the roadshow presentation with Matias Bombal and share his memories of his father and the production in Spain, but was just hospitalized, and will not be able to appear as scheduled.
