Lancelot and Guinevere (1963) Action Adventure Fantasy
Lancelot is King Arthur s most valued Knight of the Round Table and a paragon of courage and virtue. Things change, however, when he falls for Guinevere (Wallace), bride of Arthur (Brian Aherne, who had essayed this character previously in 1954 s Prince Valiant), and she for him. 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). A subplot concerns Arthur s effort to forestall a challenge from a rival king, a problem that will inevitably catch Lancelot up in a personal conflict. Directed by Cornel Wilde, produced by Bernard Luber and Cornel Wilde, written by Richard Schayer and Cornel Wilde, starring Cornel Wilde, Jean Wallace, Brian Aherne.
