In King Arthur, Artorius (Clive Owen) and his small troop of Sarmatian cavalry are preparing to withdraw from Britain with the rest of the Roman army when they are given one last mission - to secure the safety of a Roman family. From that point on, matters get very complicated quickly, involving marauding Saxons, vengeful Celts (called "Woads" in t...
There's history, and then there's Hollywood History, a flashier, cleaner and thoroughly modern version of the past. Arthurian films from the 50s, such as Knights of the Round Table (1953), are an example of this. The industry also had the habit of inventing new characters to add to the panoply of already existing Arthurian knights, damsels and vill...
An underrated actor (as well as an Olympic-class fencer), Cornel Wilde had an erratic - if long - Hollywood career. After creating his own production company with wife, Jean Wallace, he made a series of films including Sword of Lancelot. Wilde co-wrote, co-produced, directed and starred in the film. A genuine attempt to break away from some of the ...

Regarded on both sides of the Atlantic as one of the funniest comedies ever made, Monty Python and the Holy Grail almost never got off the ground because no studio would produce it. In the end, the film's minimal budget (which might explain the use of clacking coconuts instead of real horses to make the sound of galloping hoofs) was funded from a v...

Despite both being based on Mallory's Le M...

Based on the first book in T. H. White's The Once and Future King, The Sword in the Stone is basically King Arthur for children. It uses animation, music and comedy to tell the story of Wart- Arthur as a boy - as Merlin teaches him the basics of physics, gravity and flying rather than swordsmanship, horse rising and leadership.
