About El Capitan Aventurero
Don Gil de Alacala (José Mojica), a swashbuckler also known as Captain Adventure, must overcome a series of difficult trials and tribulations in order to save the love of his life, Carmina (Manolita Saval), who is engaged to marry a terrible nobleman. Based upon the libretto "Don Gil de Alcala" by Manuel Penella, this classic black-and-white romance also stars Margarita Mora, Carlos Orellana and Sara García.
Directed by Arkady Boytler, El Capitan Aventurero leans on a strong ensemble — José Mojica, Manolita Saval, Margarita Mora — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1939.

In the 16th century, poet, playwright and part-time actor Miguel de Cervantes has been arrested, together with his manservant, by the Spanish Inquisition. They're accused of presenting an entertainment offensive to the Inquisition. Inside the huge dungeon into which they have been cast, the other inmates gang up on Cervantes and his manservant, staging a mock trial, with the intention of stealing or burning his possessions. Cervantes wishes to desperately save a manuscript he carries with him and stages, with costumes, makeup, and the participation of the other prisoners, an unusual defense—the story of Don Quixote.
