Find any aspiring young film makers and force them to watch this as a lesson in how to bugger up a film in every department, and thats every department.....script, directing, lighting, ccstumes, acting, action scenes, editing,....absolutely nothing escapes the awfulness that seeps from this turkey that would make acorn antiques look like the royal Shakespeare company, The cast list is second to none and how on earth any of them took part will probably rank alongside the mystery of the origin of the universe......In summary, take the best grapes from a region called champagne, give it to the masters, and produce.......tesco value cola.................

There is very little of the story of Arthur and Guinevere in this movie. Rather, it is focuses on the touching story of Sir Gawain and the Lady Ragnell (Ann Thornton) who is under a spell that turned her face into that of a pig. What would free her from the evil spell is if someone would love her as she is, a lady with the face of a pig. Her kindness and virtue wins the sympathy and love of Sir Gawain and her true visage is revealed, that of an outstandingly beautiful woman. It was not made clear, however, who placed the curse on Lady Ragnell and why. This episode should have been another movie altogether as I find it more interesting than Gawain's encounter with the Green Knight which was made into a movie with Sean Connery.Ann Thornton is a beautiful and effective actress. It's a pity she was active only on TV and only for six years at that.

Probably the worst movie ever inspired by or blamed on Arthurian myth, this features some talented actors struggling valiantly with terrible miscasting (only Dyan Cannon as an American tourist seems comfortable in her role) and an awful script. The sets look cheap and stagey, and the only entertaining thing about the whole film is how laughably bad the special effects are. This is so utterly without redeeming features that I can't recommend this to anyone - fantasy fans, fans of any of the actors, not even lovers of bad movies.

This movie is, as the previous comment tells, pretty bad. However, the one redeeming quality of it is that it covers some ground that no other Arthurian movies (to my knowledge) cover: characters such as Gawain, Agravain, and Mordred have more than bit parts and the famous "rape of Guinevere" story is also dealt with. It is a very 80's film, though; the makeup and costumes capture that anachronism rather glaringly.
