3 unusual facts about Lancelot and Guinevere


Lancelot and Guinevere

This lesser-known version of the Camelot legend is a work almost solely made by Cornel Wilde, who co-produced, directed, co-wrote, and played Lancelot.

Lancelot is King Arthur's most valued Knight of the Round Table and a paragon of courage and virtue.

Made ten years after Richard Thorpe's film Knights of the Round Table, the illicit romance this time is portrayed as a more intimate affair, and the sword fights have a more menacing reality (Wilde was an excellent fencer).
