Zusammen mit dem weisen Magier Merlin errichtet König Artus das perfekte Königreich: Camelot, an dessen Tafelrunde sich die tapfersten und besten Ritter versammeln. Eines Tages kommt der französische Ritter Lancelot am den Hof und findet mit seiner arroganten Haltung wenig Anerkennung. Bei einem Turnier kann er sich aber schließlich beweisen und wird nicht nur ein Ritter der Tafelrunde, sondern auch zum engsten Freund von König Artus. Doch dann beginnt Lancelot eine Affäre mit Königin Guenevere und der verräterische, uneheliche Sohn des Königs wittert seine Chance, alles auszulöschen, was sein ungeliebter Vater aufgebaut hat...
Heute keine Spielzeiten für Camelot in Los Angeles.
They cast the most Italian man alive and said "Yeah he's French don't question it"
You all say you love camp and spectacle but then completely pan this. Look at this poster. Is it not scrumptious. Richard Harris wears eyeliner and Vanessa Redgrave wears chainmail dresses with ornate headpieces. They meet in a sound stage made to look like an enchanted winter forest and she's wearing a hood made of white fur. The screenplay is weirdly magnificent ("Thinking helps in everything. Everything but love, that is. Love is a sort of seventh day, so thinking can rest."), the songs are stunning, and Richard Harris delivers one of the most nuanced performances ever, but apparently you aren't ready for that conversation
I read The Once and Future King recently and this is a pretty bad adaptation that makes baffling choices about what parts of the text to keep and discard but also the song "Camelot" is so good that when they sing it I briefly forgive everything
Camelot follows King Arthur as his utopian dream is threatened by the tragic romance between Queen Guinevere and Sir Lancelot, alongside political betrayal.
Camelot was directed by Joshua Logan in 1967, adapting the celebrated Broadway musical about Arthurian legend.
Yes, the film won multiple Academy Awards, primarily recognizing its lush art direction, costume design, and musical score.
