Wiki.

Monsignor Quixote is a 1985 British television gentle satirical comedy film made by Thames Television for ITV. Adapted from Graham Greene's novel of the same name — in a much shorter pastiche of Miguel de Cervantes's 17th-century tome Don Quixote — its teleplay is credited to Greene and Christopher Neame, with Rodney Bennett as the director.

The film stars Alec Guinness as the titular priest and Leo McKern as his "Sancho", the communist one-time mayor of their town of El Toboso in La Mancha — a chalk and cheese odd couple — undertaking a touring holiday across post-Franco Spain in the priest's decrepit little Seat 600 called "Rocinante".

The fractious pair are brought closer in their dialogues about Catholicism and Communism and learn to appreciate each other better, but also question their own beliefs.

The film features several notable actors including Rosalie Crutchley, Ian Richardson, Graham Crowden, Maurice Denham, and an early role by Anton Lesser.

The film was broadcast in Germany on Christmas Eve in 1986; PBS broadcast the film in the United States in 13 February 1987 in its anthology series Great Performances; and it was broadcast in Italy on 3 April 1988.
