Movies inspired by Arthurian legend have been around since the silent era, though it was not until the ’50s that the craze really took off, mostly thanks to titles like Knights Of The Round Table, The Black Knight and Prince Valiant. Serials about Sir Lancelot and his son Galahad also enjoyed success, though interest was already waning by the time Lancelot And Guinevere and The Siege Of The Saxons appeared in 1963.
