Camelot (1967) is a movie I recently watched on HBOMAX. The storyline follows King Arthur's rise to power, the creation of the knights of the round table, his marriage to Guinevere, her affair with Lancelot and the ultimate demise of the round table. This movie is directed by Joshua Logan (Picnic) and stars Richard Harris (Gladiator), Vanessa Redgrave (Atonement), Franco Nero (Django) and David Hemmings (Barbarella). There's so much to like about this film - the cast delivers solid performances, the settings are beautiful, the cinematography is solid, the props and accessories are excellent and I loved the lighting. The storyline does drag at times, but big picture it was entertaining. I didn't love the songs and they seemed a bit dated and awkward at times. The conclusion and closing remarks are excellent and the perfect way to conclude this marathon. Overall this is an average to slightly above average film that's only worth watching if you have the patience. I'd score this a 6/10.
