    Ava Gardner looks stunning, but otherwise this is so laughably anachronistic and unconvincing, I was half expecting the knights who say Ni to appear.

    Lavishly appointed, spinning a lucid account of the Arthurian legend with Robert Taylor leading a solid cast as trusted knight Sir Lancelot, the good king played by Mel Ferrer, with Queen Guenevere essayed by Ava Gardner.

    This has about frak-all to do with Arthurian legend. About the only thing I can really say in its favor is that it's pretty to look at, especially where Ava Gardner is concerned. Otherwise, it's fairly dull, and Robert Taylor is quite awful as Lancelot. (He's supposed to be Frenc...( read more)h, but I would have even settled for a British accent. It's comparable to Sterling Hayden's Gawaine in Prince Valiant.)

    Well, it's better than First Knight, at least. Still, that's like being the clever one in Westlife.
