On one of the HBOs again this morning.
I hated it when it first came out because I missed the great singing from the OBCR but it sure is pretty to look at now. Lots of gorgeous people (and blue eyes) on that screen.
Great sets and costumes too!

Posted: 6/22/07 at 9:08amI have it on DVD, never cared much for it.
deep-delving, dark, deliberate you would say
browsing on spire and bogland; but today
our sky-blue slates are steaming in the sun,
our yachts tinkling and dancing in the bay
like racehorses. We contemplate at last
shining windows, a future forbidden to no one.

Posted: 6/22/07 at 9:18amLong and boring...but not without its moments. I love the opening scene in the snow.

A rather nice alternative to the TODAY show on a Friday morning.

probably one of my fav songs of all time, and definately my fav from Camelot
Before I gaze, at you again
I'll need a time for tears.
Before I gaze, at you again,
Let seconds turn to years.
I have so much, forgetting to do
Before I turn and gaze again,
at you

Posted: 6/22/07 at 9:39amI've always loved this film, too but I also liked "Paint Your Wagon"!

Posted: 6/22/07 at 9:49amThe production design is amazing in its detail, but the film really needs about 45 minutes trimmed off.

Was "The Lusty Month of May" sequence supposed to be the Arthurian equivalent to a hippie love-in 'cause it sure looked that way to me.
Then again by the time the film was made it was 1967 and they were trying to make it cool for the younger generation of that time.
They also spiced up the Guinevere/Lancelot affair. The scene when Guinevere sneeks into Lancelot's den in the middle of the night and he's there naked, draped only by a sheet....oh my.

My father took me to see that movie when I was a girl (when it was released). I loved it then -- and the movie gave me a slight crush on Richard Harris. Could it have been the accent???

Sean,
I agree with you on the Production Design, but the costumes, hair and make-up are really dated. I use that film as an example of how they screwed things up in the 60's by using all of the 'latest' styles and the heavy eyeliner from back then.

Posted: 6/22/07 at 1:30pmI loved the dated look. It reminds me of a film adaptation of a Midsummer's Night Dream that my professor showed me, and they were wearing mini-skirts. Fantastic. And, the didn't gloss up the forest the way the recent film adaptation did.
