    The legendary bass Feodor Chaliapin (1873-1938), regarded as one of the supreme singing actors of the 20th century, left an invaluable record of his art in this, his only sound film. Though primarily an actor in this film, Chaliapin is afforded ample opportunity to sing. The musical score consists of four songs by Jacques Ibert and one by Alexander Dargomyzhsky. Don Quixote is directed by G. W. Pabst, described by Leonard Maltin as “one of the prime architects of modern cinema.” As was the case with many early sound films destined for international release, it was filmed both in English and French versions.

    Adventures of Don Quixote (1933) [Re-UP]

    The French/British Don Quixote is a faithful rendition of the Cervantes novel, with a poignant ending added by director G.W. Pabst. Opera star Feodor Chaliapin stars as Cervantes' "Knight of the Woeful Countenance," an aged, addled Spanish gentleman so devoted to stories of long-ago chivalry that he decides to relive those bygone days. With his faithful squire, Sancho Panza (George Robey), Don Quixote rides off to tilt at windmills and to worship chubby milkmaid Dulcinea (Renée Valliers) as his lady fair. Sancho manages to save Quixote from killing himself, but cannot prevent the old gent from returning home utterly disillusioned.

    Director Pabst alters Cervantes' original ending by having the dispirited Quixote pass away as he watches his precious books on chivalry going up in flames. There are actually two versions of Don Quixote, one in English and one in French; the French-language version has a different supporting cast, but Pabst draws the same deep emotions and brilliant bits of business from both. Though the film unfailingly comes to life in front of an audience, Don Quixote is generally out of favor with devotees of G.W. Pabst, who consider the film a step down from his brilliant silent work.

    Director G.W. Pabst filmed both English and French versions of Cervantes’ classic, substituting French actor Dorville for George Robey as Sancho Panza and Mady Berry for Emily Fitzroy as Sancho’s shrewish wife. The epic novel, or anatomy, is subjected to gross over-simplification: there are merely nine “adventures” or scenes, with one Dargomyzhsky song and three by Jacques Ibert, who retains credit as the film’s composer. But the entire time, we are focused upon only one personage, Russian actor and basso Feodor Chaliapin (1873-1938), among the greatest singing actors of his day and the inspiration for much musical repertory, from Massenet to Rachmaninov. Chaliapin’s is a long, lean figure, a tattered coat upon a stick, but his face and expressive voice dominate the narrative.

    Convinced by the reading of books that the quest for goodness and beauty supersedes all material concerns, Don Quixote ventures forth with his faithful servant to right wrongs and free the oppressed. Attacking a flock of sheep whom he perceives as villains and infidels, Quixote cries for justice; Sancho sees only mutton. Jousting with a windmill which he mistakes for an evil giant, Quixote’s lance gets stuck in the sails, and he is carried aloft and dumped unceremoniously on the impassive ground. By the end of the journey, a spiteful church official, at the urging of the Duke (Miles Mander), burns Quixote’s books, the source of his madness; and Quixote, his face all kindness and horror, looks tragically upon the bonfire as at the loss of a Promised Land. Even the milkmaid Dulcinea, whom Quixote exalted as a great lady, weeps at the rape of Innocence.

    Film buffs will cherish having both versions of this cinematic classic; the French is perhaps the more successful artistically, but hearing Chaliapin declaim and sing in his thickly accented English is a rarity that is entirely unique. The French version appears to be more congenial to Chaliapin, likely the product of his extensive work in Faust and Don Quichotte. Pregnant pauses, controlled swelling and diminishing of a phrase (in music, a messa di voce), and the plasticity of his face, all contribute to the unity of dramatic effect. Chaliapin had worked in a film version of Ivan the Terrible in 1915, but his unhappiness with the result kept him from further efforts in the cinema. Pabst keeps the camera at mid-shot, rarely using close-ups–as had Eisenstein– to monumentalize the epic character in Quixote’s romantic exaltation of simple objects and persons. If the camera dwells at all on a character, it is on Sancho Pancha, the eternal Everyman confounded and yet magnetized by greatness of spirit, a perspective which demands the child in us all.
