LIFE

If any of our readers can resist the temptation to laugh out loud at the spectacle of King Arthur's knights going forth to battle, mounted on motorcycles, with Sir Launcelot leading the procession in a Ford, they have much more self-control than we.

Nannie Lancaster

Washington Star

With all the hilarious mix-up of present-day progress with the primitive life of 528, and the wholesome fun that brings the eras together, there is a very real tang of adventure.

The Film Daily

The Yankee's handling of King Arthur and his court in a truly twentieth century fashion got lots of laughs and there is some really good comedy in the Fox production.
