    Annotation:

    In this paper, we will study the film The Castilian (1963), an adaptation of the epic legend of Fernán González. We will place this film in the list of literary and theatrical adaptations of the legend since the Middle Ages to XXth century, attending to some theoretical connections between cinema and literature. We will use the concept of «recurrent arguments» in order to sustain our analysis, and we will expose the ways of typological configuration of the character throughout the story of Spanish literature. We will compare the film's synopsis with it's medieval sources. Finally, we will propose the study of the divergences in the adaptation since a nationalist perspective, that accentuate the anachronic Spanish personality of the character.
