Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: MUSICALS/MUSICALS Rating: G UPC: 085391223825 Amazon.com: Joshua Logan's 1967 film of the hit Broadway musical about the love triangle between King Arthur (Richard Harris), Guenevere (Vanessa Redgrave), and Sir Lancelot (Franco Nero) is strong on star emphasis and weak on such fundamentals as story and sets. Except for a handful of solidly dramatic scenes--such as Guenevere grieving, late in the film, for the ruination she and Lancelot have caused--there's not a lot to get excited about. (The story's theme of a lost, great society, however, certainly struck a chord in the 1960s.) The Lerner-Loewe songs ("If Ever I Would Leave You," "Camelot") pretty much sell themselves, even if they are, at best, only proficiently performed in this movie. --Tom Keogh Average Rating:
 Rating:  - GREAT MOVIEThis 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. Rating: - Big, often forgotten production.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! ... Read More Rating: - Total Pleasure is CamelotI 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. Rating: - DVD has no VoicesThis is a fantastic movie, if I could hear it. This is the second time I have purchased this DVD, and the second time that the sound doesn't work. Only the background music plays. Voices cannot be heard. I purchased this first a couple of years ago, so I can only assume there is a manufacturer defect on this DVD. Rating: - CamelotLoved the cast on the Broadway stage and wasn't sure the movie was going to live up to it but after watching my VHS tape many times over the years I adjusted. Alas the tape died and I just had to replace it before I had another urge to start humming the score (I have the CD of the orginal version) and need a Camelot fix. |
