Medieval intrigue and romance surround the Spanish Knight, El Cid. For those who were able to watch the movie in the 1960s, Charles Heston and Sophia Lauren render a stunning and memorable performance in the film depicting the story of this intriguing knight.

It has become common these days that the release of an expected hit movie is always accompanies by memorabilia such as shirts and replicas of popular characters in the movie. Back in the 1960s, however, items such as these were not so readily available for sale. It would have been interesting to be able to buy replica swords for kids’ play or endow your friends with medieval gifts over the holidays. Alas, technology was neither so versatile nor low cost in those days.

The evolving marketing industry, however, has continued to improve its ideas and find the resources to put their ideas to life. Innovations have made available new items much in demand since the old days. In fact, an El Cid Letter Opener with Gold Finish is already being sold online. The item itself may be a bit conspicuous but at least it is useful and suits the demographic of the movie’s current fan base. Sophia Lauren fans will be excited to own such a classy memorabilia, which they can continue to keep nearby and actually use on a daily basis.

In the study or by the mail tray, this is something that begs to be seen. The joy in collecting these memorabilia is in being able to tell the item’s stories or invoke the happy memories attached to it. Share the story of the Castiglian knight with your children and your children’s children!
