Chicago Sun-Times

Exactly what we were promised: ornate, visually beautiful, romantic and staged as the most lavish production in the history of the Hollywood musical. If that's what you like, you'll like it.

Rated: 4/4

This Camelot could be moved into Disneyland, intact.

The Spectator

To take all three hours, one probably needs a fairly tireless addiction to knights, toy castles, rapt pauses and battlefield farewells.

Alternate Ending

The film that essentially killed off Old Hollywood by virtue of being such a bad box-office flop.

Rated: 2/5

... considered a classic by many and a disaster by others. I'm in that other camp.

Creative Loafing

Often so misguided that it threatens to become a spoof worthy of Monty Python or Mel Brooks -- when Arthur hisses, "I demand a man's vengeance!" he sounds exactly like Cloris Leachman bleating, "Death to King Louis!" in History of the World: Part I.

Rated: 2/4

Saw this at a campus screening in early 70's when it was still a recent picture. Most of the audience thought it was a hoot. One of the last big budget Hollywood road show musicals that were going out of style and losing their studios money hand over fist for the most part. Adequate performances? Maybe, but the concept was getting stale. Seen one, seen 'em all, and at three hours' running time, hardly worth the investment.

A tedious hippie take on Arthurian legend that manages to pack an hour of content into three hours. Vanessa Redgrave is beautiful as Guenevere (despite being anachronistically referred to as "Jenny"). Barely worth watching.

A good song or two can't cover for the fact that the movie eventually becomes boring and tedious. I think the problem is that they reduce Arthurian legend to a love triangle.

Richard Harris is solid, but others, including Vanessa Redgrave, are miscast, Movie is way too long, And there are only 3 well known songs, The inappropriate 1960's hippe love vibe and hair styles, really detract and date this movie,

A musical where the singing is secondary to the terrific story and the meaning to what truly is Camelot.
