Original Title: Knights Of The Round Table
Genge: Action,Adventure,Drama,History
King Arthur's rule is threatened by the adulterous love between Sir Lancelot and Queen Guinevere, a relationship the king's enemies hope to exploit.
Sir Lancelot travels from France to pledge his allegiance to Arthur Pendragon, whose fame has spread far and wide. Arthur is named king after he draws the sword Excalibur from the stone in which his father had placed it. Arther isn't the only claimant to rule as Mordred also has his eye on the throne. Sir Lancelot is immediately attracted to a beautiful woman not realizing she is Guinevere and promised to Arthur. He is loyal and true to his King. Mordred takes advantage of the situation but his treachery is uncovered in the end. It does not lead to a happy ending however.
ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
There is nothing in this movie worth watching except the costumes, including those of the horses. But even these get boring after about fifteen minutes. By 40 minutes into the movie, I was fast-forwarding.
Since I loved Ivanhoe (1952), and gave 9 out of 10 ratings to both Quentin Durward (1955) and The Bribe (1949) (which I also reviewed), I figured I would like this movie in spite of what people here said about it. Was I ever wrong!
The main reason I wanted to watch it was that several people said it was based on Malory. Maybe they have never read "Le Morte D'Arthur." Most of the characters in the movie are in the book somewhere, Sir Tor and his Picts being a notable exception, but their resemblance ends with the names. Arthur, Guinevere and Percival are actually fairly close, as is Lancelot in portions, although he is jarringly different in others. Morgan Le Fay is almost unrecognizable as the blond lover of Modred, who himself appears to be the same age as Arthur (as does Lancelot, for that matter). Vivien is not Merlin's beguiler but a cheap mistress that Lancelot shacks up with for no explained reason. As for the plot, there are more differences than similarities.
To give the movie its due, it does pick up a bit towards the end. But it's not worth sitting through the first part to get there. Those who think Merlin died near the beginning (he dies 3/4 of the way through) subconsciously agree with me -- the only redeeming value in the film is during the last 20 minutes. The swordfight where Lancelot is trying to escape from his room with Guinevere is actually good, as is the scene immediately previous between Gardner and Taylor. But it dies again pretty quickly after that. Arthur just dies, he is not taken to Avalon by Morgan. And then there is the trained horse part.
I had a couple of expectations based on reviews here that were not borne out. First, Ava Gardner has quite a large part. Her acting is decent. But I didn't much care for her, perhaps the first movie I've ever seen her in where that was the case. Medieval clothing doesn't suit her particularly well. It certainly doesn't allow much room for sizzling. And the scene where she's wearing a tall hennin (dunce cap tipped with a scarf) is just laughable. At the end she sheds her royal clothing for a nun's habit!
Second, Robert Taylor does some very good acting in this film. He is basically the only one who does. As I said, Gardner is decent, as is Aylmer in his tiny part. Mel Ferrer stinks, and is horribly miscast as well. Baker reminds me of something out of a sword-and-sandal epic. Taylor pretty much carries the show, such as it is. He can be rather wooden (his downfall in "The Bribe"), but I did not find him so here. He makes a couple of impassioned speeches that are quite well done.
In spite of these couple of faint bright spots, I can think of no earthly reason to watch this movie.
A quite theatrical rendering of the Camelot story, that grips over too much in just a normal-length feature film: The love triangle Arthur-Guinevere-Lancelot of course, Mordred's upheaval, Merlin, Elaine and Galahad, the Holy Grail and even God's own voice (that sounded suspiciously American, to that! :-D ) One can also say a lot about other actors' pronounced American accents, and the masking is not very convincing at times (King Arthur and his beard is the worst).
There are also some discrepancies here from the original story, or maybe one should say - the most common story. For instance, in this movie Lancelot and Elaine were married, but in the common story they were not. They had Galahad together, but this was because Elaine tricked Lancelot to sleep with her - when he thought she was Guinevere. Also, Merlin was murdered in the movie, while in reality this was not possible - he was living "backwards", and had at the time of the love triangle become too young to be a court magician and counsellor anymore.
There is some fine dialogue, though, and something of Camelot is there in the spirit and adventure. If you like beautiful ladies in wonderful (stage) medieval dresses, handsome knights in shining armour, hearty sword fights, courtly behaviour, wonderful landscapes with mysterious old castles, etc. etc., everything in bright colouring - you will like this movie!
