Ok so I knew that Richard Harris played Dumbledore in Harry Potter, and I knew that Richard Harris played King Arthur. But it just uccured to me that it's the same Richard Harris. I feel stupid:p
I LOVE Richard Harris in this movie! I didn't know he had a decent voice, either. I told my little sister that HE is Dumbledore, and she gave me a WTH look! LOL.
Tonight, two kings, President Barack Obama and the Jewish President of China (spelling his name gives me a headache but Hu is the first name, rhymes with his nationality -- Jew) are dining on steak and lobster. Meanwhile half of Hollywood has turned vegan and the ads by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals have gotten so aggressive about giving up animal-eating or else, that the commercials are banned in the land of the free. A Kosher Cow-Torturing Congress Jew was just shot in the head.
I watched this in English class today, and I could not get this song out of my head. His voice, and his eyebrows, express so many things... I am so downloading this onto my iPod.
(a straight woman) find men in eyeshadow or eyeliner sexy. Strange, I guess, but I do know a couple others who think the same thing! I love Richard Harris in this role!
I think the director must have asked him to do that "talk singing" some of the time, because when he does actually sing he has a very nice voice. Have you ever heard of the number one song, MacArthur Park, which Richard sang? He was widely praised for it.
Richard Burton performed this on Broadway with Julie Andrews Also Roddy Mcdowell played Modred with an excellent so called "The Seven Deadly Virtues" . It didn't appear in the movie verison
Agreed! I just saw Camelot and fell in love with his portrayal of Arthur. He is so expressive and just possesses a quality I can't describe, but he seems so kind and true.
Critics called this movie overacted. I see an actor who is thoroughly enjoying his own performance and a slightly unorthodox, expressive character. I'd like to know what so unnatural about this that the critics have to beat it down. This is pretty much how I'm acting when I'm on my own sometimes, just goofing around.
What's so great about this musical is they were all singing while this was being recorded. So this is his voice 100%. There was no lip singing or recording ahead of time. Each person in the musical had to sing right there and then as the movie was being shot. WONDERFUL work!
"Richard Harris disliked having to wear a wig and heavy eye shadow as King Arthur. He also annoyed producer Jack L. Warner by insisting on singing the musical numbers live rather than miming.
I couldn't help but feel sorry for all three of the main characters. Both lancelot and guinevere really loved Arthur, but they loved each other more. It'd be a horrible position to be in. Richard Harris was brilliant in this. :)
Harris-to me-is the only likeable actor in this movie for me, besides Peninore. Lancelot is way to pompous for me. It wadn't until I saw the show live and saw a GOOD actor play Lancelot that I learned to like the character.
i thought lancelot pegged it pretty well, tho i assumed they didn't want you to like lancelot in this production. your sympathies are supposed to be with king arthur.
@arin721 its kinda ironic but nero's Lancelot is the only Lancelot I like. I always found other Lancelot's humility to be very annoying, it was refreshing to have a Lancelot to finally be like "No you dont even understand how utterly awesome I am."
Yeah, i totally agree, though i have yet to see someone likable play Lance. Guenivere's pretty cool in the beginning though. I wish they would make a new one, but then again, i don't because i love richard harris in this movie, and he's dead!
@arin721 Yes, he was the original on Broadway with Robert Goulet and Julie Andrews. He's amazing, but Richard Harris brought something so much more intimate and human to Arthur.
When I was little, me and all my siblings would climb this huge tree in our yard and sing this song!
