Sword of Lancelot (1963) CORNEL WILDE 

WOW, what a great movie! I even liked the battle scene at the end, it was beautifully filmed. I am not into blood and gore, and there was just enough to show it was a battle, but not too much. Cornel Wilde kind of grew on me as the movie progressed and then I just loved him by the time he did his ending speech. GREAT MOVIE!

Thank you for sharing this beautiful movie. Cornel Wilde is my favorite actor. Its sad he passed away too soon . R.I.P.🙏😘

I loved this movie The music was beautiful and sad. I still may cry every now and then because of the ending. All that they went through and she is in her last steps of becoming a Nun. He was heartbroken, no Gwen. Sad, sad indeed. I went through a situation like that. That's why this movie still gets to me and I'm 74 Sad!!!! I saw this movie when I was in College. Shaking my head right now

Ein fantastic Ritterfilm vom anfang bis zum ende spannend und ein großartiger Lancelot und eine wunderschöne Gwenevere. Sehr gut gespielt und fantastic gedreht., 👑👑🛡🛡🗡👍👍

Jesus! I never expected Lancelot to slice Mordred in half, it's like Liam Neeson did to Tim Roth in Rob Roy

Finally a decent copy of the favorite movie of my early youth long ago. Thank you for providing a watchable copy of this great movie!

Cornel Wilde was a fine actor. His equal does exist today.

This was a real good advendture,old known names.:Merlin,lancelot,..............We liked it very much!!!!!Thank you.

Like many here I really loved this movie in my youth, and I still do. Given my hormones at the time, the bathing scene with Lancelot, Guinevere, and the soap was particularly, uh, moving. A note about the initial joust for the hand of Guinevere: It was hugely violent and excellent in every way in this film, but it should be noted that two years before, the Charlton Heston movie "El Cid" featured a joust with virtually the same choreography -- broken lances, wrestling in the dust, Cid/Lancelot in mortal danger against the glowering menace, tables turned, and a fight with two-handed battle swords at the end. (That's an anachronism, by the way -- these types of swords didn't come into play until the Renaissance, many centuries later, but who cares). Now, the Heston movie had much greater Big Hollywood production values; Wilde was scraping along as an independent producer and director, but did darn well with what he had, so I'm not surprised he copied almost stroke for stroke the "El Cid" joust scene. And he actually improved a bit on it. He added a variety of available weapons, which was cool. And at the end, while Heston merely stuck his opponent , Wilde chomped him right through his helmet down to his jawbone. Spectacular! So, I kinda fault Cornell Wilde for copying the Heston choreography so closely, but he improved on it with that great "chomp!" Cornell Wilde, a wonderful leading man of the Golden Age!

I loved this movie when I was a kid,and what I remember most was how I loved King Arthur at first,but grew to hate him for trying to burn Guinevere.

Great movie thank you. A lot of head wounds and a good left shoulder slice at the end!

So I always loved swashbuckle movies I’m so happy there are so many Left!

Thanks for sharing this movie. This British film was called “Lancelot and Guinevere” but the title was changed for American audiences. Cornel Wilde co-produced, directed, co-wrote, and played Lancelot. Jean Wallace (Polish) and Cornel Wilde (Hungarian) were married to each other from 1951 to 1981. They had a son together. They were also starred in “The Big Combo” together. Prior to marrying Cornel she attempted suicide twice in her life. Jean Wallace died at 66 (1990, Gastrointestinal bleeding) and Cornel Wilde at 77 (1989, Leukemia).

I enjoyed this classic. I did shed some tears. Very touching and hats off to Mr. Carnell Wilde!💔😓

Excellent quality - best on line version I've seen - better than what is on Amazon! Thank you!

Nice to see old movies restored to HD.

Guinevere can go to the convent in Glastonbury and commence work on some good Trappist Ale.Having crushed so many men's hearts she can now set about soothing their souls with some fine brews.

It's crazy to think there was no Wi-Fi or an internet to browse back then. I don't just mean the Middle Ages, but even as recent as the actors and actresses playing in this film weren't able to enjoy their breaks watching RU-vid.

Great movie.. Greetings from Denmark.

I found this quite heartbreaking at the end and almost drew a tear. I liked this film.

Well-known story of Lancelot and Guinevere but now with some extra gritty realism thrown in (missing in those countless medieval epics from the fifties), especially in the spectacular large-scale battlescenes. Also director and star Cornel Wilde is a former US fencing champion so the swordfights are pretty brutal.

First saw this when I was 6yrs old in 1965 loved it then love it now

This epic story showed how powerful a woman..able to topple a kingdom a knigth defy his king life and honor turning.

good movie i like it its my first time seeing this

The smell of elderberries is strong with this one.

Damn!!! She puts a lot of value on a handhold and a kiss!!!

I enjoy these old period classics, with character actors such as Graham Stark, and one or two other familiar faces if not names on the tip of my tongue.

Finally! The cinemascope version!

Awesome! Thanks again for another Classic!

A remarkably clever movie, very much the love of its producer and director, star Cornel Wilde, whose writers concentrate sensibly on the love triangle, Lancelot-Guinevere-Arthur, rather trying to cover the whole Arthurian legend. It was filmed on a decent budget, partly in England and in Yugoslavia with a British cast who as usual took their acting roles seriously. Jean Wallace, the heroine, was also Mrs Cornel Wilde and it shows in their love scenes. The action sequences are remarkably violent for the 1960s; this realism was Cornel Wilde`s express wish, something he carried on his other directorial efforts, "The Naked Prey" and "Beach Red".

Excellent print of this. Good format, too. Looks like original 2:35. Thanks for the upload.

I enjoyed very much.Thank you for sharing.

The Celts had soap long before the Romans.

Sick battle

A wonderful presentation in original 2.35 Panavision by PizzaFlix of a truly great spectacle which is worthy of being compared to Charlton Heston's great epic El Cid, an honour which few movies achieve. Wonderful cast, good script, epic scenes, moving romance, costumes which colour film must have been invented for, and a stirring, moving musical score. A movie still good enough for today's cinema audiences, crafted expertly by Cornel Wilde, 1963. KAN 9.19 UK

The trumpets bellow every time the king comes into the room. I wish i had musical accompaniment.

One of my childhood favorites. It wears well.

18:40 Quite sweet of him not to try to kiss her or try to force himself on her. He just walked away. Very gentlemanly of him.

Happy heavenly birthday to Jean Wallace (October 12, 1923 - February 14, 1990) 🎂🎁🎈🎉🥂

The song of the initial credits was used on "the crowded sky"(1960, released by Warner Bros Pictures )

"Camelot!" ("It's only a model.")

I saw it once... twice...and then I decided to buy it.I maybe the last of the mohicans,but I am always interested in good made movies.I have knights of the round table and prince Valiant.I had never heard of this movie.I always buy good films on dvd.This is one to own not just watch once.Some ''horror'' scenes did prevent it to be shown on television I think.Good movie that every fan should have.I bought the German version with English language.Just perfect for me.

No dragons, No magic swords just how it might have happened.

In the end he won war but lost the love. I think we cannot have both.

Wonderfully shot film, stunning...

The old war movies have real fighting scenes, just like what happening in real life.

Rousing adventure blood and guts thanks

Fantastic movie

Vi muito este filme. Muito bom. Bons tempos que ñ voltamos! Filmes simples que eram profundos.

Very Nice! 👍👍❤👏😄

Cornel Wilde From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Born: Kornél Lajos Weisz October 13, 1912[1] Privigye, Kingdom of Hungary (now Prievidza, Slovakia) Died: October 16, 1989 (aged 77) Los Angeles, California, U.S. Resting place: Westwood Memorial Park, Los Angeles, California Other names: Clark Wales, Jefferson Pascal Education Columbia University Occupation Actor, director Years active 1935-1987 Spouse(s): Patricia Knight (m. 1937; div. 1951)​ Jean Wallace (m. 1951; div. 1981)​ Children 2 Wilde's acting career began in 1935 when he made his debut on Broadway. In 1936 he began making small, uncredited appearances in films. By the 1940s he had signed a contract with 20th Century Fox, and by the mid-1940s he was a major leading man. He was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance in 1945's A Song to Remember. In the 1950s he moved to writing, producing, and directing films, and still continued his career as an actor. I prefer the Lancelot/Guinevere plot as presented in 'Excalibur'!!!!

Love this. Cheers PF - my inner 12-year-old is in heaven!

Very good movie.

Thank you!

Perhaps they left, on the cutting room floor, the scenes showing the Brave Sir Lancelot single handedly storming a castle built in a swamp, killing many of its inhabitants.

😩 (sigh) " How great and tragic are the consequences and destruction of Forbidden Love. "

Gwen, that two timing tart

...YaY! Good One PzzF ! (Good to see'ya back in the Groove) ...Peace'n may God Bless. ...

Perhaps they left, on the cutting room floor, the scenes showing the Brave Sir Lancelot, thinking he was rescuing a captive, single handedly storming a castle built in a swamp, killing many of its unfortunate inhabitants, and later declining to marry a fair princess.

Top Movie 🎥👍👍

'Good day good knight!'

Where did you get a clear picture like this what dvd version

Lovely movie! May the best man win!

Good ... Brazil ... April 17, 2020 ... I always do my best .... Bless You Allllllllll

c est un tres tres bon film je le recommende un gros merci

nice film and very good to watch both audio and video tnx

Anyone know which version of the dvd this was taken from? Seems much better quality than the one I have.

A very sad 😢 movie y did I watch this?! 😭😭😭😭 Now I'm depress is fuck!!!

good movie , good dialogs and characters.

It seemed the speaking voice then was called SCREAMING.

At 22.40+ King Arthur twice refers to Guinevere as "the child" - and him at least 50 y.o. is to marry her. She seemed to prefer Lancelot's swordplay.

I also like that arm slice 💪

best vikings eva

Great print! Such a nice, clean print, it's a shame that the top and bottom are cropped here. Also, there seems to be some side to side movement (noticeable in static shots). Perhaps when this was transferred from a print? I know many people joke about this film, but I've always enjoyed it ever since I caught it on TV late one night years ago.

They should of reunite their love as they were hoped for, it was sad at the end

SOAP!

superb

What is it with the hero fighting axe+shield vs the other guy mace+shield? This film, Ivanhoe, Black Shield of Falworth... I do love the sfx in all of them of the axe/mace biting into the shield!

Say what you want, I find the battle against the barbarians thrilling! And brutal.

Did Lancelot ever use his...ahem...lance... a lot?

Nope, this movie won't get me to hate Cornel Wilde. A good guy, Hungarian-American, became a star against the odds, later did his own (painfully low-budget) movies like this one to hopefully earn a living and give his wife some work, too. Don't hold this movie against him; watch the many great movies he did do, like "Leave Her to Heaven" or "The Big Combo", for starters.

Great Movie!

the real morale of this story is never trust a woman trust in yourself.

Arthur loses his kingdom and Lancelot loses the love of his life.

Yes I was taken by her love my love my love I was taken by her love

Do see Cornel Wilde's Naked Prey. Great movie.

Thank you

Happy Birthday to the late Kornel Lajos Weisz 10-13-12.Hungary

I thought helmets were meant to deflect sword blows or else what's the point in wearing them?

Gr8!!

good movie though

She got around didn't she

Perché non in italiano ? Grazie

Lance was french?

Preciosa.

DILLY DILLY!!

I will now thanks.

👍👦

Endings like that always hurt my feelings. I guess the only reason why I'm not surprised that I didn't see it coming is because I was already feeling jaded and a little bitter about love. 😅💗😐😶😔😒

❤️
