She's not a game playing be-atch here; Lancelot was cocky and insufferable at the beginning (watch C'est Moi) and she just wanted to do a little 'reality check.'

The argument seems to be ACTING versus SINGING (and in the talented Broadway style too). The same applies to various musical movies even as recent as Phantom of the Opera (Gerard Butler and Emmy Rossum). Actors are NOT singers but this is a MOVIE version of the musical and still a MOVIE. I happen to like Vanessa's Queen Guenevere only because it's too hard for me to see Andrews as an adulterous wife/Queen. Andrews ? She'd never cheat on her husband in real life! She's too ...perfect

Forget all the arguements, I enjoy both versions very much so. I love Andrews but I saw this version first and love this rendition... this actress, though I don't know her, seemed fit for the role.

Besides, comparing someone to Julie Andrews? There's no competition, why do you even bother? It's unfair to someone else.... I think, anyway.

@MastersoftheOpera

it was andrews before everyone knew her as Mary poppins

@MissyHolland

yeah but she is a game playing biotch shes using the other knights using her sex. She has her own motives thats called playing games.

@MastersoftheOpera I would give anything to see Andrews and Burton perform as well as hear them sing Camelot, but this version is great too. As was a version I saw a few years ago at a local theater.

The italian version sung by the great Tina Centi is absolutely better.

Vanessa Redgrave is not singing. She's desperately trying to do it. :-)))

Tina Centi did it amazingly. Well, she dubbed Julie Andrews, Marni Nixon in "My Fair Lady", Debbie Reynolds, Princess Aurora in "Sleeping Beauty" etc. etc.

She knew how to handle a song... ;-))))))))))

I suggest you to watch the italian version of the song, sung by the talented Italian dubber TINA CENTI... it's on my channel...!

PS: I'm Italian, so I apologize for my English!

agree andrews belongs romping around hills with nuns and kids :D

This film was a MAJOR flop..and for good reason. The singing was so mediorcre for a musical whose only asset was the songs. Critics HATED the original show and it only ran because of the stars, pagentry and music. If you have ever seen it on stage, it is long, dreadfully dull, humorless.

[jspankin]

this is terrible, ok Julie Andrews is not in it but they could have at least put someone could sing and could Vanessa at least pretend to be interested in singing the song.
