    Despite Joshua Logan's stodgy staging, this sumptuous screen version of the Arthurian musical by Lerner and Loewe still pierces the heart in Excalibur fashion. Vanessa Redgrave as Guenevere convincingly enthrals both King Arthur (Richard Harris) and Lancelot (Franco Nero), and us. The stars may not be exactly tuneful, but they compensate for that with their dramatic and moving interpretation of the glorious songs. This ideal world corrupted by passion makes the Sean Connery/Richard Gere rendition First Knight look like little more than a charade.

    DO NOT SEE

    Having strained to watch most of this movie i eventually gave in. This is terrible. all the main cast do their best with the material but this musical of one of the finest medeival tales dosen't go anywhere to impress.

    i lost interest very quickly. but the snow effects are good and the songs are actually quite nice.
