- DirectorÉmile CohlStarsChristiane MandelysMaurice VinotDon Quixote, the Knight of the Sorrowful Figure, is seen in his well-stocked library, deeply engrossed in reading Tales of Chivalry. So enthralled is he that his meals are forgotten and visitors unnoticed. He decides to renew the exploits of feudal days and persuades a fat, thick set countryman. Sancho Panza by name, to follow him as a squire. They prepare armor for the knight, using a brass shaving basin for a helmet. They secure their steeds, namely; for Don Quixote an old rawboned animal, to which the knight gives the name of "Rozinante," and for Sancho, a little long-eared donkey, which staggers under his ponderous burden. The departure of the immortal knight and his squire is most grotesque, showing two types of human nature contrasted strongly even on the silent stage. The film depicts their travels among the most picturesque of scenes. While imagining that every object he sees is worthy of knightly service, the old man performs many ludicrous exploits. The main action is presumably allegorical, but introduces numerous episodes of bucolic or pastoral kind, as well as many pictures of Spanish life and much promiscuous adventure. Attempting to free slaves, the Don is beaten by them. Aspiring to be knighted, he is made sport of by an old inn-keeper, whom he mistakes for a king. Attempting to overcome a windmill, which he supposes to be a giant, he gets entangled in the sails and is badly hurt in the encounter. His faithful squire carefully brings Don Quixote back to his old home, where, broken in spirit, and grieved at his experiences and surrounded by his relatives the poor old fellow dies.

- DirectorEdward DillonStarsDeWolf Hopper Sr.Fay TincherMax DavidsonHis mind unbalanced by much reading about knight errantry and lack of sleep and food, Don Quixote decides to sally forth and right the wrongs of the world. The muddle-minded old idealist takes with him Sancho Panza, his stable man, who from then on vainly tries to dissuade his master from embarking upon all sorts of rash adventures. Notable among them is the episode of the windmills, which the Don thinks are devils, even after he has charged them and been carried around and around and dropped unconscious on the ground. When he recovers, Dorothea tells him of her affair with Don Fernando, which has forced her to leave home to avoid disgrace. He determines first of all to right the young woman's wrong and goes on to an inn, which he imagines is a castle. The maid-of-of-all-work he dubs the fairest lady in all Spain. One night at the inn is enough. The proprietor throws him and his man out the next morning. While riding along the road they meet several prisoners and their guards on the way to the galleys. Without hesitation the Don spurs his ancient steed, Rosinante, among them, and puts the guards to rout. It develops that one of the prisoners is Cardenio, who has been guilty of loving Lucinda against her father's will. Don Quixote offers to intercede in his behalf and together they start back. Cardenio goes ahead and arrives as his beloved is about to become the wife of Don Fernando. Thinking she has been faithless he seeks to end his life with the poison of an adder. The Don, arriving later, invades mansion and halts the wedding just in time. "How about Dorothea?" he asks, and Fernando cowers. Then the Don seeks Cardenio and brings him back to his lady. But Don Fernando is not so easily defeated. With his retainers he kidnaps Lucinda. A pursuit follows and there is much matching of steel when the two parties meet. Don Quixote, who has gone his way, incidentally rescuing Dorothea from a cruel master for whom she has been tending goats, arrives in the midst of the melee. He has become more insane on his favorite subject and every time he comes upon a prostrate form he rushes forward and claims the honor of slaying the villain. As the encounter becomes hotter a blunderbuss is brought into play and the Don is shot in the breast. While he is dragging himself to the inn of the fair Dulcinea, the scoundrel Don Fernando has been attacked by Cardenio. At length the latter is victorious and the body of Fernando crashes into a ravine. Dorothea, who has seen the struggle, goes to it as the others repair to the inn. There is a happy reunion between Lucinda and Cardenio and permission to wed is freely granted. Into this happy group staggers the Don. His faithful Sancho Panza and Dulcinea help him to the stable, discover the hole through his armor and try to staunch the wound. But all efforts fail. To the accompaniment of the merry making above the lovable old character expires in the straw and the devoted pair beside him grieves.

Немецкая версия фильма считается утраченной. - DirectorGeorg Wilhelm PabstStarsFeodor Chaliapin Sr.George RobeyOscar AscheIn Spain, in the sixteenth century, an elderly gentleman named Don Quixote has gone mad from reading too many books on chivalry. Proclaiming himself a knight, he sets out with his squire, Sancho Panza, to reform the world and revive the age of chivalry, choosing a slut to be his noble lady Dulcinea. He mistakes inns for castles, a play about chivalry for the real thing, flocks of sheep for armies, convicts for wronged prisoners, and windmills for giants. While he and Sancho are off on their adventures, his niece, her fiancee, and the local priest think up a strategy to get him back home.
