This is a wonderful film, I also have the stage version.
they are both good, But I remember the film when it first came out and it is still my favorite. I was great to see Richard Harris when he was younger then when he was older in the same role. Reccomend both versions.
I found this little gem in 1986 on VHS. It was "pan and scan" and void of any special features. Now on DVD it shines with a beautiful presentation, better sound and a nice retro documentary. Richard Harris immediately became my ideal King Arthur. I could sing along to all the songs and really appreciate the wonderful cinematography.
It has a tackiness that is ultimately endearing. The myth of Camelot is a fairy tale for grown ups. History aside, this film will live for generations!
I have known the music for years. But have never seen the movie. Now I have the DVD and am entranced with it. I have already viewed it twice. It is elevated to my "my favourites" list. It is beautifully made, no wonder it received several Oscars, the costumes, the script, the acting (you can see that the actors had fun making it) the diction, the humour, the total charm of it. A delight. Thank you.
