I have seen three different versions of "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" and have come to the realization that I simply don't like the story--not this one nor the two famous movies with Will Rogers and Bing Crosby as Sir Boss. In light of this, my disliking this "Studio One" version certainly shouldn't come as any surprise.
Thomas Mitchell plays the hero, Hank Morgan and he is magically transported back to the days of the fictional King Arthur. There, he uses his knowledge of modern technology to impress the locals and convince them he should be proclaimed 'Sir Boss'. And, repeatedly, this knowledge not only saves him but Arthur.
Because this was live broadcast on TV during the earlier days of the medium, the budget was rather low and the production rather confined in the sound stage. This makes it even worse than the not so great films. Watchable...but just barely. "Studio One" made some amazing productions....just not this one in particular.
