Arthur the King (1983 TV Movie)
1/10
Worth Seeing if You are in that Arthurian Mood
27 October 2004
Yes this is the movie with the Gawain-Lady Ragnell marriage in it. I hunted high and low for it online and finally found it here. This is not a great adaption of the Arthurian legend but parts of it are certainly worth seeing.

The idea of an American falling through a hole 'ala Alice In Wonderland was completely ridiculous but many of the actors do a fine job in this movie. Add it to your list and spend some time watching it. It's definitely a good romance between Gawain and Lady Ragnell (cursed to look like a boar/pig until kissed by her true love).

McDowell gives a fair performance. Edward Woodward is outstanding as usual.

I was surprised that I actually like the view of Mordred.

Let's face it, it's tough to top Excalibur but eventually someone will!
