Anthony Mann`s sweeping epic of Spain`s legendary hero portrayed by Charlton Heston remains the best of the historical epic`s produced by Samuel Bronston.The score was provided by Hollywood`s premier composer of epic music, the late and truly great Miklos Rozsa. The suite consists of ...Main Titles / Love Scene / The El Cid March / Exit Music. The exit music is a beautiful choral arrangement, which was used at the movies original opening in 1961.
Hi Brian, This is one movie I have never seen. The music is spectacular and beautiful. It reminds me a bit of one of my favorite movies of all time, "Ben Hur". I will definitely have to watch this one now. Thanks so much for posting, Norm from USA

Hi Norm,I really envy you not having seen El Cid. You are about to add to your list of favourite movies, The reason this reminds you of Ben Hur is probably due to Rozsa scoring the music for this as well.Enjoy and have a great weekend.
