I found this little gem in 1986 on VHS. It was "pan and scan" and void of any special features. Now on DVD it shines with a beautiful presentation, better sound and a nice retro documentary. Richard Harris immediately became my ideal King Arthur. I could sing along to all the songs and really appreciate the wonderful cinematography.
It has a tackiness that is ultimately endearing. The myth of Camelot is a fairy tale for grown ups. History aside, this film will live for generations!

I have known the music for years. But have never seen the movie. Now I have the DVD and am entranced with it. I have already viewed it twice. It is elevated to my "my favourites" list. It is beautifully made, no wonder it received several Oscars, the costumes, the script, the acting (you can see that the actors had fun making it) the diction, the humour, the total charm of it. A delight. Thank you.
June 1, 2008This is a fantastic movie, if I could hear it. This is the second time I have purchased this DVD, and the second time that the sound doesn't work. Only the background music plays. Voices cannot be heard. I purchased this first a couple of years ago, so I can only assume there is a manufacturer defect on this DVD.
April 7, 2008Loved the cast on the Broadway stage and wasn't sure the movie was going to live up to it but after watching my VHS tape many times over the years I adjusted. Alas the tape died and I just had to replace it before I had another urge to start humming the score (I have the CD of the orginal version) and need a Camelot fix.
April 6, 2008This is the real deal. No other versions of Camelot come close to the original with Richard Harris and cast, and this DVD shows it in glorious color. A winner.
