DVD Reviews of Camelot (Special Edition)

DVD Review: Glorious Camelot
Summary: 5 Stars

I love fantasies and magical movies, and Camelot certainly fits. To see a young king terrified at his coming wedding day, a young bride upset at not being fought over by knights, an idea to bring together all the different kingdoms and have a different type of knight to sit at a round table. But the best of intentions never turn out as expecteed, and to see Guenivere's scorn for Lancelot turn to awe and love, his distress at falling from grace to fall in love with his king's wife, Arthur's torment at finding out the two people he loved best in all the world loved each other, and, in the end, the place known as Camelot under seige, his pure knights fighting again, the round table broken, and his queen about to be burned at the stake. So many songs to convey the emotions. I loved I wonder What the King is Doing Tonight which showed how human young King Arthur was. I will leave parents to determine how suitable it is for children, I simply revel in the music, songs, costumes, settings, and the fulfillment and destruction of one man's dream.

DVD Review: Excellent!
Summary: 5 Stars

I was thrilled to find "Camelot" on Amazon at such a low price in perfect condition. Vanessa Redgrave and Richard Harris in this production is priceless. It is an old classic and the DVD has special features that was an added pleasure..showing the movie's premier from the '60's.

DVD Review: Cheap Click Case Cover
Summary: 4 Stars

Amazon needs to indicate that this comes in a cheap click case and not a hard case as this matters to some of us choosing to buy this edition of the movie. Should be listed in the "details" of the product.

Movie is fun...lots of great music!

Wonderful musical account of King Arthur and his knights of the round table. His love affair with his queen and betrayal by her with his best friend. One of my favorites

Description of Camelot (Special Edition)

Lerner and loewes moving musical about king arthur guenevere lancelot and the round table. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 09/19/2000 Starring: Richard Harris Vanessa Redgrave Run time: 178 minutes Rating: G Director: Joshua Logan

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
