Camelot

"The Arthurian Legend as a musical. Enjoyable. "

"This was a cute, golden age musical. It’s a tad melodramatic, but par the course for musicals of that period. I can understand why JFK was so obsessed with the broadway show. The songs were lovely, albeit a bit repetitive. My favorite was definitely “If I Ever Would Leave You.” I found this variation of the story of King Arthur and the knights of the Round Table interesting. I’ve never heard of a version of the story where Arthur knew Guinevere and Lancelot were having an affair and banished those who accused them of it. I also found Guinevere and Lancelot’s dynamic extremely interesting. Having them go from enemies to lovers was unexpected, but compelling. As a whole, this was a solid musical watch except it was extremely LONG. If you decide to watch this film, schedule a bunch of free time for it."

"Memorable and catchy songs to sing along to, but was not engaged with plot or the characters."

"Long and goofy, but the costumes are to die for and Vanessa Redgrave and Richard Harris are captivating. Vanessa Redgrave (Guinevere) and Franco Nero (Lancelot) met on set and began a lifelong romance so THE ROMANCE IS REAL! Watch in 2 parts, there’s an intermission. "
