LERNER AND LOEWE’S MOVING MUSICAL ABOUT KING ARTHUR, GUENEVERE, LANCELOT AND THE ROUND TABLE.Joshua Logan’s 1967 film of the hit Broadway musical about the love triangle between King Arthur (Richard Harris), Guenevere (Vanessa Redgrave), and Sir Lancelot (Franco Nero) is strong on star emphasis and weak on such fundamentals as story and sets. Except for a handful of solidly dramatic scenes–such as Guenevere grieving, late in the film, for the ruination she and Lancelot have caused–there’s not a lot to get excited about. (The story’s theme of a lost, great society, however, certainly struck a chord in the 1960s.) The Lerner-Loewe songs (“If Ever I Would Leave You,” “Camelot”) pretty much sell themselves, even if they are, at best, only proficiently performed in this movie. –Tom Keogh
