What a great flick! Wilde and Wallace really knew how to bring the Arthurian legends alive (except for the part where Gwyn is on the stake). Here are some very interesting scenes: the flaming arrows shooting over the river into the Viking camp, the circular staircase fight, and realistic lancers leading into battle. A curious, non-Hollywood, ending. Thanks for posting.
Sorry can´t help myself. :) "Bravely bold Sir Robin Rode forth from Camelot. He was not afraid to die, Oh brave Sir Robin. He was not at all afraid To be killed in nasty ways. Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin." Thanks for this old gem. 👍
I love old movies. Good movie on Arthur, Guinevere and Lancelot. I had forgotten about this one, seen it in my teen years….👍❤️🙏🏼. One thing I’ve noticed though is on how selfish Guinevere truly is….she thinks more about what she wants instead of the kingdom she rules with Arthur, and ignores the consequences of her actions and that of Lancelot’s life, putting herself and everyone around her in danger and jeopardizing everyone else’s safety and freedom. So sad….but also, Arthur was told by Merlin not to take Guinevere as his bride… becoming a three sided love affair, all wanting something that wasn’t meant to be, and torn apart from reckless love, the consequences of that decision, and how it affected not only Lancelot, but changed the whole situation and the kingdom being torn apart with their reckless relationship with their own love…sad story, but sometimes we leap into something without knowing or realizing what that decision will mean later on or maybe that we have made a mistake until it is too late…sometimes it may correct one situation, and other times it may make it worse than before … reminds me of another story but can’t remember the name of it….oh one thing about history, women weren’t allowed to marry someone they loved, most of the time the families arranged for the marriages to whomever they thought would be good for their daughters, other times rich families would give their daughters to someone who was richer or prestigious and connection to higher status or wealth. It had nothing to do with love at all….believe it or not, some of that practice is still being done today somewhere in the world …😢. True love in our hearts and commitments are what binds us and makes us stronger together as a family, anything less is folly …..👍❤️🙏🏼
But why, pray, did you feel the need to replace Ron Goodwin's 1963 title music (which establishes melodies that recur throughout the score) with a piece of thoroughly anachronistic Heavy Metal? I simply don't get it.
Lancelot and Guinevere (known as Sword of Lancelot in the U.S.) is a British 1963 Film Starring Cornel Wilde, Jean Wallace (his real-life wife at the time),
Sir Lancelot (Cornel Wilde) is a knight of the Round Table and one of King Arthur's (Brian Aherne) most trusted men. Arthur pledges to wed Princess Guinevere (Jean Wallace) and sends Lancelot to protect her on the long journey back to the castle. Arthur is unaware, however, that Guinevere and Lancelot have fallen deeply in love. As Lancelot struggles to reconcile his love for her with his duty to Arthur, he must also defend the land against a rival king.
Ending could have been better. I noticed she went from the Kings Court to the convent cage. The closing of the gate at the end looked ike the closing of a prison door.
If I were Lancelot, I think I would be a bit tick off that you didn't ride off into the sunset with me, you could've sent a message to me so if could go on with my life, WHAAAATTT, instead I LEFT here empty handed. THE SARGE
It’s only as good as Lancelot’s numb-tongued unusually intermittent French accent. He Is the title role fer chrissakes! couldn’t they get someone with the a French accent? That’s what I call low budget.
All this time I thought king Arthur had the famous sword....ex-something or other. Unless they were speaking figuratively, in which...oh, oh now I get it. Never mind, forget I brought up the subject.
All he went through for her, and when they can finally be together, she becomes a nun. But according to legend thats what happened. And in real life he was married to her for 30 yrs. And she drank to much and they divorced in 81.There,s an little irony to that, I think.😊
This is a lovely movie, but I really dislike the way way they have portrayed Guinevere. There is no nobility in her...she may have been beautiful, but others have done better in the role methinks.
if you're going to be picky the entire language is wrong for the 6th century and the costumes appear to be more 12th century medieval, but it is hollywood
@@spudspuddy The longbow wasn't really used until the medieval period either... The whole movie is a conflation of Robin Hood and King Arthur. And seriously, they used relatively "modern" habits for nuns? None the less this movie would rank favourably compared to any Roland Emmerich film in terms of accuracy or truth. LOL 😆 😆
A very enjoyable movie; fine viewing on a Saturday night. Cornel Wilde made so many good movies!

The enormity of these films is amazing. So many people putting together a great film 😊
It is what it is. Since I love just about any Arthur, Merlin, Knights of the Round Table movies, I enjoyed it. Put more of the same up.😊
This beats hands down
the Paris Olympic games opening !
Thats a Fact!! Just liberal Garbage.
Sorry can´t help myself. :)
"Bravely bold Sir Robin
Rode forth from Camelot.
He was not afraid to die,
Oh brave Sir Robin.
He was not at all afraid
To be killed in nasty ways.
Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin."
Thanks for this old gem. 👍
"When danger reared its ugly head, Sir Robyn turned his tail and fled!
Brave, brave, Sir Robyn!"

I completely agree and I'm sitting here just baffled by it
Thank you for mentioning the "heavy Metal". Now I don't have to suffer at all. I can just DRC it, and the whole channel will disappear from my PC.
Heavy metal, the swordmaterial. 😂
Locker bleiben, Jungs
It's awful I quit .
Better than i thought,worth watching!
Will check it out now! Thanks to comments.

Aha! Excellent!
Proper films not like to days modern ones no feeling like these ones.
Please, please, remove the beginning music and replace it with the original.
Great film!
Cannot match First Knight with Richard Gere
I forced myself to watch the movie in its entirety, but I wouldn’t want to watch it again.
This movie perfectly demonstrates why a man should never "fall in love" with a woman
30 year old princess, 40 year old knight with a Brooklyn accent and skiny. expensive but made for tv props. but still worth watching
Apparently the French section of Brooklyn!
Supposedly he was renowned for his linguistic skills.
Yes, the section of Brooklyn is called "Buisson Plat"
Lancelot was a famous British Surgeon and Boil Specialist.
Ending could have been better. I noticed she went from the Kings Court to the convent cage. The closing of the gate at the end looked ike the closing of a prison door.
'It's only a model'
If I were Lancelot, I think I would be a bit tick off that you didn't ride off into the sunset with me, you could've sent a message to me so if could go on with my life, WHAAAATTT, instead I LEFT here empty handed. THE SARGE
That last sword cut....
Sorry but it is not HD! It is merely a 480p or SD film. Please, change the title, and thank you for this movie, anyhow.
That's not the original score.
Never thought Sir Lancealot was French.
Bet that cost about 30 bob to make
It’s only as good as Lancelot’s numb-tongued unusually intermittent French accent. He Is the title role fer chrissakes! couldn’t they get someone with the a French accent? That’s what I call low budget.

Excalibur LOL! Sir Lancelot had le Tickler Francais.
You have to remember that 98% of the King Arthur/Camelot story is completely fictional and even the 2% is very loosely collaborated.
All he went through for her, and when they can finally be together, she becomes a nun. But according to legend thats what happened. And in real life he was married to her for 30 yrs. And she drank to much and they divorced in 81.There,s an little irony to that, I think.😊
She was suicide prone but failed each time.
the absolute worst french accent, dear God
It's Breton. France didn't exist to the French in those days.
Vikings didn't wear horned helmets :)
Nor did they attack Britian in the 6th century but the 8th.
So the Queen wasn't faithful to the King
NOT BAD
This is a lovely movie, but I really dislike the way way they have portrayed Guinevere. There is no nobility in her...she may have been beautiful, but others have done better in the role methinks.
horrible casting. just horrible. dialog too shakespearean. the only Arthurian film i can watch is Excalibur (john Boorman, 1980)
A master piece
25:04 🫎
Ah Yes... Knitted chainmail... seems fitting as their stunt swords are blunt. 😊
Waste of time i can't watch any part of this and i can't watch anything on this channel ever again. 😅
All that just for a shrubbery
THAT SUCKS! I guess I've lost my taste for ancient piety being the karma for deeds of forbidden love committed due to misogynistic inhumane traditions
He said "England" What a joke ! At that time
there was no England. The country was Britannia or Brigantia and the Angles the ennemies (lol)

And what “time” is it? Bit of a joke to complain about historical accuracy in a myth.
Couldn’t hang in there, with such lousy acting! Laughably bad, in fact.
geeze you kids its not supposed to be a documentary its old Hollywood
What a great improvement in acting since then . These actors have absolutely no present ,no charisma.Boring.

You ruined it with stupid music selection. Shame shame shame.
