CAMELOT
Ouvrage 9781DVDBALZA9 : CAMELOT
Joseph Logan directs this lavish version of the Alan Jay Lerner and
Frederick Loewe Broadway success with Richard Harris, Vanessa Redgrave,
and Franco Nero in the lead roles originally portrayed on Broadway by
Richard Burton, Julie Andrews, and Robert Goulet. The musical, based on
T.H. White's The Once and Future King, chronicles the legend of King
Arthur (Richard Harris) and his tortured love affair with his queen
Guenevere (Vanessa Redgrave). Arthur first encounters Guenevere, on the
day of their wedding, in the enchanted forest surrounding Camelot. After
the wedding, Arthur's bliss at his marriage to the lovely Guenevere
prompts him to establish the Knights of the Round Table, a lofty order
of chivalry in which all the member knights are bound by a desire the
help the oppressed, keeping faith with trust and honor. Such is the fame
of the Knights of the Round Table that a young French knight, Lancelot
Du Lac (Franco Nero), seeks to join the order. Lancelot quickly becomes
the most celebrated of all the knights, and Guenevere, aloof at first,
falls in love with him. Although both have a deep love for Arthur, their
passion knows no bounds, and they begin an illicit love affair behind
Arthur's back. Arthur ignores the rumors circling around him, but when
his illegitimate son, Mordred (David Hemmings) arrives at Camelot, he
exposes Lancelot and Guenevere during a tryst. Lancelot escapes, but
Guenevere is sentenced to be burned at the stake. Lancelot rescues her
at the last minute, and Arthur prepares for battle, his dreams of an
idealistic Camelot shattered. Paul Brenner
