| | Camelot: From Stage to Screen |
 | | Fade in on a mysterious forest, the opening credits and the title song, Camelot, wonderfully orchestrated and executed. So, the movie starts and we are immediately catapulted to the end. Offscreen voices sing of the fallen queen, Guenevere as we are introduced to Arthur, looking tired and old... |
 | | Offscreen voices reprise the title song to accompany beautiful footage of the future queen on horseback being introduced to Arthurs people. Then we see Arthur and Guenevere walking down the aisle to be wed surrounded by hundreds of candles. This whole montage is a visual high point in the story. |
 | | So, Camelot has been hailed by some as the worst movie musical of its decade. I cannot rightly agree with that, in fact, there are some wonderful elements. Great performances, wonderful art direction, beautiful orchestrations among them. |
