El Cid Termed Celluloid Lump
Of Sword Fights in Stereo
By VINCE YOUNG
Coltegtan Reriewer
Once upon a time, a nasty old
Arab stood upon the banks of
the Mediterranean and shouted
to hifi troops. "Moors. the prophets
have said that we're destined to
rule' 2 the world!"
Not too much later, eh armada
of more nasty old Arabs landed
across the waters and proceeded
to - larlaavoc on Spain.
AND THUS begins a series of
sword fights and battles - amalga
mated into one celluloid lump
entitled "'EI Cid."
It seems that one Roderigo Diaz
(El Cad) fought some Moors but
refused to kill his prisoners.
He was tried for treason and
later was provoked into killing
the father of his girlfriend, Chi
merle.
