Plot: Joshua Logan directs this lavish version of the Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe Broadway success with Richard Harris, Vanessa Redgrave, and Franco Nero in the lead roles originally portrayed on Broadway by Richard Burton, Julie Andrews, and Robert Goulet. The musical, based on T.H. White's {~The Once and Future King,} chronicles the legend of King Arthur (Richard Harris) and his tortured love affair with his queen Guenevere (Vanessa Redgrave). Arthur first encounters Guenevere, on the day of their wedding, in the enchanted forest surrounding Camelot. After the wedding, Arthur's bliss at his marriage to the lovely Guenevere prompts him to establish the Knights of the Round Table, a lofty order of chivalry in which all the member knights are bound by a desire the help the oppressed, keeping faith with trust and honor. Such is the fame of the Knights of the Round Table that a young French knight, Lancelot Du Lac (Franco Nero), seeks to join the order. Lancelot quickly becomes the most celebrated of all the knights, and Guenevere, aloof at first, falls in love with him. Although both have a deep love for Arthur, their passion knows no bounds, and they begin an illicit love affair behind Arthur's back. Arthur ignores the rumors circling around him, but when his illegitimate son, Mordred (David Hemmings) arrives at Camelot, he exposes Lancelot and Guenevere during a tryst. Lancelot escapes, but Guenevere is sentenced to be burned at the stake. Lancelot rescues her at the last minute, and Arthur prepares for battle, his dreams of an idealistic Camelot shattered. ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide

We must not let our passions destroy our dreams !

Although this is a musical version about the classical legend of King Arthur, his lovable Guenevere and the purest soul the Frenchman Sir Lancelot, the results are outstanding.

Joshua Logan's masterpiece focuses about four fundamentals aspects. the boyish character of the King, his candid and unexpected encounter with Guenevere in the forest, the visible affective dependence about the Wizard Merlin, who works out as his mentor and advisor, the profound affection felt for Sir Lancelot as the brother and friend he never had and finally the cruel deception suffered by this might man who knows is cheated by his loved wife and his inseparable friend Sir Lancelot and how he doesn't want to listen reasons about this public scandal.

Richard Harris is splendid as King Arthur, Franco Nero is ravishing as Sir Lancelot and the alluring beauty of Vanessa Redgrave ignites the screen every time she appears.

The sets are over the top and the music is another special factor that will capture your whole attention in this $15 millions epic.

A timeless classic.

Camelot - Special Edition A MASTERPEICE!!!
Added 6/23/2009

I saw parts of Camelot on TV many years ago. I have always been a huge Julie Andrews fan and was interested in this 1960 peice. Seeing it again 'Camelot' is much more than a musical, but more a drama with music. Richard Harris as Arthur has been perfectly cast as has Vanessa Redgrave. I can't imagine anyone else playing these roles. Redgrave is her most beautiful and moving in this picture. Watching it on my home theatre projector bring the vividness and clarity of the picture and sountrack to my home as I imagined it must have been in the cinemas in the 60's and early 70's. This Warners musical far surpasses their previous efforts in 'MY FAIR LADY'. Julie should have really done Eliza for the screen.

The DVD, includes a number of features including several 'Camelot' trailers, two featurettes, the picture quality of each is far from great, being very grainy and the sound a bit crackly, but its a lot of fun, and a music track only feature.

The DVD transfer of CAMELOT is beautiful, rich and colourful. The print is like new and the sound is exceptional. Watch it!!!! Its how a musical should be done.

I loved it! It took me back to my youth. Though the story was tragic, the movie Richard Harris left me feeling upbeat. What an excellent cast.
