camelot

[Yankeezephyer]

My favorite version of Camelot. I watched this with my parents when I was a kid. The age of chivalry.

[Jantv81]

Camelot was Kennedy's era.

[MsFullheart]

how could you not love this musical!

[ShailiahApAizen]

4 people refused to go to camelot (or stay at camelot)

[Lismetdetu]

I love this movie...and the songs too. Thank you..

[cgrbutterflyfish]

I love Richard Harris. Watching this made me want to go buy the DVD. Thanks for uploading it.

[Jungstudios]

What is the scene with Merlin? What was that song? Any Camelot fans recall?

Thanks for posting this great classic! Camelot!

[BarksRosaRota]

Cum alot

[RosesNightengales]

"In short, there's simply not A more congenial spot. For happily-ever-aftering than here In Camelot."

[Cassavius]

Well, Linkara brought me here.

[WikiSorcerer]

Thumbs up if Linkara brought you here.

[sirstarsalot]

Great, great movie, its on my Top 5 list of all movies

[nllleonard]

My favorite too! And the absolute best version! Thanks! NAncy

[videostolaughby]

Do you have permission to show this clip or did you just upload it without asking? I wanted to send you a message, but your account forbids this.

[arin721]

@videostolaughby like 99.9% of youtube, i uploaded it because i enjoyed the movie.

[claritacosta100]

@arin721 You don´t need permission to upload what you like, do you? Yet, why not talk about these great actors instead of rumbling about?

[faeryedark]

@arin721 And I'm glad you did, thanks!! i have the movie but still like to just see the musical bits without dragging out the DVD

[faeryedark]

@arin721 I'm glad you did I have the movie but still like to watch these bits w/o dragging out the dvd

[Galastel]

@arin721 Owners of legal rights for movies should be happy when such clips are posted. It's free advertisement.

[retroslave01]

@videostolaughby You're an idiot. It's called the internet. Deal with it.

[wippermannl]

@videostolaughby cry baby pls go do sometin usefull then playin father.....

[KnightAlbert]

I've never seen it (I'm Italian) but it seems wonderful.

[lsmith37]

[lsmith37]

[TheLovelyladylover]

One of the best ever films!!

[zem1956]

RICHARD HARRIS NOT BURTON.

[OfficialMargaly]

Am I the only one that is in love with Richard Harris' facial expression from 0:56 - 1:00 . It's just so adorable/ funny/ amazing. :D

[macbolan00]

richard harris is number 1 in my list of top actors. the first scene in the movie camelot shows it. see how he can switch from a love-sick wimp to a mean warrior-king in a flash.

[robotfroggyhead10]

the monty python one was better.

[kalamandarim]

All this fairy tale whitness, the kindness and inocence makes this scene a little piece of stardust. Took me a while to find this film and buy it, but my mother used to tell me the story, when I was a child, and she smiled with the same magic whiteness.

[barf245]

Seems like the 1960's had a boat full of musicals

[FDR1945]

He was totally meant for the way they wanted to portray Arthur.

[youxtubexguru]

Hi thanks for adding up that scene with Richard Harris. There are only 2 that I could find and only partial Ed Sullivan teasers with Richard Burton. I'd love to see that video. Will you be posting the Richard Burton version soon? Thanks much!!!

James

[SaverinoMusic]

Richard Harris, along with Topol, are definitively the best.

[JuanMacready]

A fucking awful flop in which nobody could sing.

[poornavarre]

@JuanMacready

There is the OFF switch.

[hennyjess]

Look on the other harris sites.Might be of interest.

[hennyjess]

and harris bought the rights supposedly!!! that is where he made alllll his money!!! Harris had a huge conection with Rank and the Mill in Limerick! Read up on him! That's if I'm correct??? and I just might be!

[94Phillies]

I know this is really weird, but Richard Harris looked darn good in this movie :)

[JuanMacready]

@94Phillies He looked like a homosexual.

[Thistledemon]

@94Phillies I am completely with you on that one. :D

[plasmatv]

I do declare, doesn't Richard Burton look like an (un)reasonable facsimile of Juse Law?..Even sounds like him.

[RosesNightengales]

If Im not mistaken this is the same Richard Harris who played Albus Dumbledore in Harry Potter. Am i right? if so Kudos to Mr. Harris for having a lovely singing voice.

[loveoldsongs]

@RosesNightengales He also played Emperor Marcus Aurelius in the "Gladiator" movie in early 2000. It was one of his last roles, if not the last one!

[GlobalAndy]

i saw this movie in school after reading king arthur and the knights of the round table its an amazing movie

[GreatDarkSpot]

I think this is Harris' best performance in the movie, though it's still not quite up to Burton, it's close. Not sure why they had the getup and eyeshadow on him - he looks like some gay woodland spirit. Perhaps that's why he's so prancey in this scene.

[judiann222]

I love this Movie...Thank You for posting this!!!! :-)

[BernardProfitendieu]

the acting (and singing) in this movie is painfully bad!

3 hours of this are about 2 1/2 too many.

[ToughXArmy69]

In his book Director Joshua Logan said he wanted a sexy leading lady and chose

Vanessa Redgrave in lieu of Julie Andrews who created the part on Broadway.

It is Richard Harris NOT Richard Burton who also starred. Jack Warner insisted they film the movie on the Warner back lot in stead of England. The WB Art department did a truly great job. One would never know it was a backlot instead of England. Logan had a mixed review of films HIts: Picnic, and South Pacific

flops Paint Your Wagon.

[carlmonico]

IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN HARRIS. NOT BURTON 

[MsDucess]

Thank you for this share so very much!

[abruke2]

I was blessed to have seen the 1981 revival of this with Richard Harris. Although I was only 13, I loved it then and I love it to this day!

[TheCatgirl6]

@dwarflover63 Whatever. Great song, whoever is doing the singing. Happy 4th, btw.

[4tabs5]

3:35 - that little eye thing! it's so cute hahahahaha

[eanelson2000]

Does anyone have the one with Richard Harris that the did on the stage for HBO? Bet I have it on Beta somewhere. But that was the best I've seen. Harris breaking the songs for whispers here and there in this one is weak.

[tyjeffries]

I love this movie... I was actually on that set..right there....in all that wonderful fake snow ...with my father Lionel Jeffries who played Kind Pelenore. It always makes me feel so strange to see it....but what a movie...and what fabulous songs. Vanessa was never more lovely xx

[orangeviolins]

@tyjeffries I thought your father was most dear as the thoughtfully timid Pelenore. Thank you for posting on here. This is a movie that spun fairy tales for me as a child back in the sixties... And yes, the scene detail interpretation, casting and costumes were amazing to this little girl back then as well as Redgrave and Harris, et al. A dream I always returned to on many nights (in my mind's eye) after seeing it on the screen.

[tyjeffries]

@orangeviolins Thank you for that...

I agree.. it is very much a dream world...weird for because on a number of times I actually got to 'be there'. I have never been the same since! lol

Thank you for your nice reply xxx

[southernladycharm]

Love, love, love him!! There will never be another!!

[TopazNot]

OH! and also.....

Richard recorded Johnathan Livingstone Seagull

I would love to see THAT posted here.....I have the album but I am computer deficient......

[TopazNot]

Richard gave two speeches in the room of the round table. One of then was about if he could choose from any man in the world to be his brother, Lancelot!

Can you upload this speech and that other one? His "speaking" voice was unbelievable!

[slicerprime]

I used to listen to the album over and over as a kid.

[TheCatgirl6]

Me too! Loved Harris and Redgrave's beautiful reading of the songs and Franco Nero's dramatic "If Ever I Would Leave You"

[fobesq]

Richard Harris was so perfect in this role and I loved his voice...so natural. Thank you so much for this joy.

[Hethrin]

That's Richard HARRIS, not Burton. Burton did the broadway version, lol.

[arin721]

yeah, i always confuse the two men's names. i annotated all the clips i'd uploaded but they seem to not be working. i'll reupload it all someday when i have a spare moment, so i can fix it.

[Hethrin]

oh, okay, sorry. :)

[DonkeypunchKSH]

They are both Welsh last names even if R. Harris is from Ireland.

[ljchaves]

@Hethrin Beat me to it. That's Richard Harris, not Burton. I saw Richard Harris last performance (or last tour at any rate ) of Camelot years ago with my mom. AWESOME, as is this movie.

[SharinganJutsuu]

I love this movie, it just makes me so sad! So I always just watch this scene. Hehe <3

[jlcosgrove2009]

me+this movie=<3

[jirakaochiromo]

lol :) nice!

[philbroadheadable1]

wonderful ,so many childhood memories

[ellwyn]

what a wonderful fantasy, yet some claim that the climate can be stabilized. it's more amazing how so many fell for it.

[sharoniixxo0o]

vanessa redgrave is stunning

[47nicknack]

I think it is a lovely place.

[b56123]

Omg this is the amazing and talented Richard Harris not Richard Burton.

[2006eoinb]

"On second thought let's not go to Camelot, it is a silly place!"

[saletious]

Are you suggesting cocanuts migrate!

[deskpot1]

Monty!

[BSFBOPE]

OMG...what the hell? this is funny and BAD. harris was a great actor but never really got many good roles, sporting life being the big exception (one of the best performances ive ever seen by an actor) this is another example of a great talent ruined by the sauce.

[jdbbrz]

I never cared for the movie much but I did love Richard Harris as King Arthur (Wart) he was wonderful and I love this song especially how he sings it so romantic and neive sorry can't spell and he acts so much like a little boy I loved it and god those gorgous eyes whew.

[3rtay]

"It's true!!"

[eebeelive]

Thanks for the post. This always reminds me of our "Camelot" may the lord be good to you Teddy

[Lar24man]

I don't like musicals, but this is the only exception. I watch this movie every year on thanksgiving day.

[3rtay]

RICHARD HARRIS!!!

[luvutube11]

Richard Harris is AMAZING. He brings so much to the character. RIP

[MissyHolland]

Don't worry, Loel and theBots, their honeymoon wa just around the corner!

The NYU shuttle driver loves this musical and we once duetted on five songs as he drove around the campus. What a great memory!

[JoelandtheBots]

Man there seemed to be a lot of sexual tension building toward the end of that song! Darn guards had to ruin it >:(

[arin721]

isn't that always the way? :P

[AlexThePhantomsGurl]

I thought that it was Richard Harris in this movie

[1337Rurouni]

That IS Richard Harris...... I'm 100% positive.

[arin721]

yep, it's richard harris. it just wasn't worth going back and correcting the actual video. an annotation will have to do :|

[draganryo]

YES!!!! I love this movie sooooooo much! And the book is a fuckin mind blower as well! Both are something to be loved and enjoyed! The same as Les Miserables! BRILLIANT!!!!

Oh, and Vanessa Redgraves PWNS Julie Andrews in this role. I never thought Andrews was seductive enough to pull off this role. Guinnevere was a bloody SLUT! Not just with Lancelot. In the book after he comes back from the quest for the Holy Grail she gets with MANY others. Andrews was always too "pure", her voice anyways.

[arin721]

i've never really been a vanessa redgrave fan; however, i don't think they could have picked a better person for this role. it was just a perfect fit!

[pambolita]

Thanks you SO, SO much for posting this. It's one of my FAVORITE movies of all time!!!!

[Gawaine687]

love that song! and the sets and vanessa are so pretty!

and i can't believe they defended themselves with snowballs! so funny. almost as good as when one of gawaine's chicks was defending herself by throwing chess pieces at guards. good stuff.

[arin721]

i've loved this movie since i was a kid. i thought it was the most beautiful thing i'd ever seen. to this day, i'm convinced that's what snow looks like and i'll not have my fantasy taken from me!!!!! :)

[shastasladybear]

My all time #1 fav movie too.

[arin721]

thanks for the comments :) even tho i did get the names confused :o glad you've all enjoyed it.  i absolutely love this movie.

[bonnie43uk]

thanks for posting this .. this song fills me with joy!!

[tiredoldbag]

Only a Richard (Harris or Burton) can do this - perfectly!!!!!!!

[moodygrl66]

I sing this for my kids! Thanks!

[columbokicksass]

hey. love this movie too. thanks!
