my favourite movie of all time. the best arthur story i've come across, and believe me, i've seen alot. one bad point, when merlin confronts uther for the first time, as he enters the throne room, the camera shakes in a most annoying way. recomendations for a few good arthur reads: Knight Life by Peter David and Merlin's Bones by Fred Saberhagen
very good movie. makes me have hope for the future of authurian literature/documentation.

very good movie that the censors couldn't destroy. amazing for it's blatantly adult themes in 1932. the story hasn't aged one bit. lesile howard is brilliant in his role. i saw this on tv one night and searched for half a year to figure out what it was called. fantastic.
And I will, you can count on that.
An enlightening and entertaining look at human nature. From the surface, Dowd appears delusional--everything they say him to be, but as the movie progresses, you begin to realize that he's the only one who has it right. The world is a wonderful place, full of tricksters and sunsets and flowers and missing button-holes. He sees it all with the help of his best friend, a pooka who can only be seen if you believe in him. You start to wonder if it's right, the way you veiw the world I mean, as a static place of only so many mornings. You start to wonder if you're really taking care of what's important. Does it really matter so much that you be on time every day of your life? Does it matter if you see that TV drama and wouldn't it be nicer to take a walk and see a few sunsets? What's so important about work that you run off every day with hardly a thought for anything else? Dowd has advantages we do not. He needs no money, his inheritance has taken care of him it seems and for those of us less fortunate, work pays our bills. But even so, if life becomes repetitive and you don't have any fun...won't you please stop for a little bit?--Even if it means being a little late. Won't you please stop and take stock of what really is important. Flowers, and the sunset and the little things people will say...for example: Hello.
