Camelot, American musical film, released in 1967, that was adapted from the hit Broadway musical of the same name. Although a box-office disappointment, it became popular with fans of traditional Hollywood musicals.
Camelot centres on England’s reluctant, angst-ridden King Arthur (played by Richard Harris), whose attempts to bring civility to his land are undermined by the love affair between his queen, Guenevere (played by Vanessa Redgrave), and his most loyal knight, Lancelot (played by Franco Nero). The couple are eventually caught together, and though Arthur forgives them, he is forced to fight Lancelot. As the battle approaches, Arthur realizes that his hopes for Camelot are lost.
