Movie Reviews of Camelot (Broadway Version)
Movie Review: A treat for fans of Richard Harris and/or Camelot
Summary: 5 Stars
Having twice had the good fortune to see Richard Harris play Arthur on stage I was very excited when "HBO Theater" announced the upcoming broadcast of this show. I saw it's first showing in the early 80s. I have a stereo VHS copy of it I recorded then and it's been one of my most treasured video rarities. It is vastly superior to the movie version from the late '60s. After reading some reviews of this DVD I questioned whether I would be satisfied with the video and audio quality. While it definitely does not look like it was recorded yesterday it is quite fine and worlds better than my VHS copy. It is inarguably the best recorded version of Camelot available - and probably will retain that distinction. You will not be disappointed. In fact, you'll probably be delighted.Movie Review: Your children love this!
Summary: 5 Stars
I too waited years for this to come out and was shocked (and happy!) so many others felt the same. I saw a live production of this (with Harris) when I was and kid and it made me fall in love with the theater. Camelot was a mezmerizing expericence that I wanted to share with my kids (boy 8, girl 4). They may be a little young to grasp the full concept of the story but they love the songs and humor. I sing: "I wonder what the king is doing tonight". "HE'S SCARED!" they scream. Lots of fun! They also love the jousts. "OH NO!". We miss "Fie" but listen to it on CD all the time. It's a great way to squeeze a little culture into their lives. I love this beautiful version... much better than any other I have seen. If live theater - as Camelot was meant to be seen - is not an option, this is the second best way to see it!Movie Review: As close to the stage as you can get
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful production, and gets you as close to the feeling of a live performance as you can get. You're able to sense the little flicks of energy that run through the actors and occasionally the audience as well. It's one of the few recordings I prefer to hear AND see, as the reality is better than what I fantasize in my head. Absolutely worth getting!Movie Review: A classical very classical
Summary: 4 Stars
This version of the beloved Lerner and Loewe's musical catch the naif magic of the show. Richard Harris is absolutely great in his part. With that glitter that only have the big performers he fills the musical. This is a must have for Broadway Lovers. The other actors are just good on their parts. The production is clasical and pure.Movie Review: Camelot

My family has been looking for this version of Camelot for many years. We are so happy to find it! The quality is great and Richard Harris was so special as King Arthur!
