Knights of the Round Table (1953)
I don't remember such a plot in Mallory or de Troyes, but since I'm not a know-it-all "expert," it won't stop me. It's very beautiful. Everyone is beautifully dressed, even the horses, and they fight beautifully and realistically (because, unlike modern garbage, the armor is real, and it's not scary to miss a blow), and there are beautiful, purely knightly gestures – like helping an opponent pull a sword out of a tree, the ladies are beautiful and refined, in short, it's a pleasure to watch. The plot is banal, but the SPIRIT OF THE ERA! Mallory wrote a little differently, but I'm willing to bet that he would appreciate this vibe of brotherhood, valor, and nobility. I would have liked another hour or so about the Grail, because the film ended at a very interesting moment, but even so, it's good.
