***The Italian-American medieval epic El Cid (1961)***

Saw it back in 1963. Got it on DVD and watched it again a few weeks ago. Best Joust scene EVER!

Can someone explain to me why this is an Italian picture? El Cid is a famous Spanish hero, and his story is told in the most important Spanish poem. The Spanish weren’t up to it?
