MOVIE LOCATION HUNTER
Filming location photo, shot in Spain, for El Cid (1961). Scene description: Rodrigo (Charlton Heston) dies, and a rumor of his death spreads. His allies honor Rodrigo's final wish. With help of an iron frame they prop up his body, its eyes staring straight ahead. Dressed in full armor and holding an unfurled banner, he is strapped to the back of his horse, Babieca. Guided by King Alfonso (John Fraser) and Emir Al-Mu'tamin (Douglas Wilmer) riding on either side, the horse leads a mounted charge against Yusuf's (Herbert Lom) now terrified soldiers, who believe that El Cid has risen from the dead. In the panic that ensues, Ben Yusuf is thrown from his horse and is crushed beneath Babieca's hooves, leaving his scattered army to be annihilated.
