Something about Cornel Wilde makes my skin crawl.
He co-produced, directed, and starred with his wife Jean Wallace in this.
Battles on horseback hold this movie together.

A enjoyable, well-made telling of the Arthurian legend focusing on the tragic love between Lancelot and Guenevere. The movie starts with Arthur becoming king of England and ends with a spectacular battle in which Mordred is defeated. Quite lusty and gory, it's refreshingly mature for a movie about Arthur, although it conforms to a staid and stale Christian worldview. Well paced with good acting, it's definitely worth watching.

I downloaded the avi file. The video is fine. Some flutter distorts the audio starting in the marriage scene and ending during the battle with the Huns.

"Sword of Lancelot" is not quite a B-picture, like something that Roger Corman would make, nor is it really an A drama like Knights of the Round Table or Camelot. It is B+, produced by a small UK group called Emblem pictures and distributed in the US by Universal. The movie is pretty cheap in everything except the big battle sequences, where they seem to have spent most of their money.

Otherwise its a B quality picture, but an enjoyable one. The plot is straightfoward, and rather unoriginal as Arthurian movies go - love triangle bewteen Arthur, Lancelot, and Guinevere, Modred trying to take over the kingdom, etc. etc. The one thing that makes it stand out is the fact that it is the first (?) movie to explicitly say that Lancelot and Guinevre have a carnal relationship.

So if your a fan of the genre, sit back, relax, and watch the epic formula unfold, free and in full color!

(Oh, one otherthing, towards the middle, the audio is a bit warped)
