Movie Reviews of Camelot (Special Edition)
Movie Review: Widescreen version best available
Summary: 3 Stars
As with CAROUSEL, not many people liked the film version of CAMELOT. There were some superb actors in the cast, but only competent acting. The singing - in a "natural" style - toned down the grand tragedy aspect and as much confused audiences as alienated them. On initial viewing, the story and the songs are moving and impressive, but this is not a film that stands up to repeated viewings. The sets and costumes are singularly stunning - a combination of primitive and an emerging gold and jewel-encrusted aristocracy on the rise. The wide-screen version is the definitive one to own in that at least the grandeur of the spectacle and sweep of the action fill the eyes and ears when the dramatic content of a scene lets us down. Harris and Redgrave are quite fine. Nero can neither act nor sing but is a pretty Lancelot. Hemmings makes the most of his brief role as the destructive Mordred. This was Alfred Newman/Ken Darby's last scoring job for films and it won him his last Oscar. Also Oscared for Art Direction and Costumes. Additional nom for Cinematography. Worth seeing and even owning - but not one of the great film adaptations of a stage classic.
