Description by OLDIES.com:

The legend of King Arthur has enchanted generation after generation. His pure, perfect kingdom was shattered because of the tragic passion between Queen Guenevere and the Round Table's bravest knight, Lancelot. Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe shaped that saga into the 1960 musical "Camelot." Seven years later, the stage hit became a triple Academy Award winner with glowing performances by Richard Harris, Vanessa Redgrave and Franco Nero and a glistening score. This remastered edition delivers a revitalized picture and remixed Dolby Digital sound. Experience anew the melodic romance of that "one brief shining moment" known as Camelot.

Product Description:

The Lerner and Loewe musical about the legendary Court of King Arthur based on T.H. White's book The Once and Future King. The film is not as good as the show or the book, despite a big budget and big cast. Academy Award Nominations: 5. Academy Awards: 3, including Best (Adapted) Score, Best Costume Design.

Plot Synopsis:

Adaptation of the Lerner and Loewe stage musical about the rise and fall of King Arthur and the court of Camelot. Destined to rule England, the noble Arthur builds a magical and benevolent kingdom with the assistance of the Knights of the Round Table, only to be toppled by the machinations of the conniving Mordred and by the betrayal of his beloved wife Guenevere and her lover Lancelot.
