...Sophia Loren is a ravishing Dulcinea, but she seems to be playing a kind of high-stepping variation on Two Wom en. James Coco is soundly defeated by the role of Sancho Panza. The score by Composer Mitch Leigh and Lyricist Joe Darion contains the inescapable ballad The Impossible Dream, surely the most mercilessly lachrymose hymn to empty-headed optimism since Carousel's You'll Never Walk Alone. One expects to learn at any moment that it will be come the national anthem of some newly emerging nation...

"The others are so full of examining their feelings and describing their inner thoughts--I don't think such introspection gets you anywhere.")

Before she turns into Don Quixote's virginal Dulcinea in Man of La Mancha, Aldonza, the scullery maid, gets a rather rough going-over from a rabble of lustful admirers. So much the worse for Sophia Loren that Director Arthur (Love Story) Hiller, currently making the movie in Rome, is a perfectionist. After umpteen retakes of the strenuous scene, Sophia was pleading sotto voce with the extras: "Take it easy, boys. I'm black and blue all over...
