Knights of the Round Table is a 1953 American historical Technicolor film made by MGM. Directed by Richard Thorpe and produced by Pandro S. Berman, it was the first film in Cinemascope made by that studio. The screenplay was by Talbot Jennings, Jan Lustig and Noel Langley from Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur, first published in 1485 by William Caxton.
The film was the second in an unofficial trilogy made by the same director and producer and starring Robert Taylor, coming between Ivanhoe (1952) and The Adventures of Quentin Durward (1955). All three were made at MGM's British Studios at Elstree, near London and partly filmed on location. The cast included Robert Taylor as Sir Lancelot, Ava Gardner as Queen Guinevere, Mel Ferrer as King Arthur, Anne Crawford as Morgan Le Fay, Stanley Baker as Modred and Felix Aylmer as Merlin.
With the land in anarchy, warring overlords, Arthur Pendragon (Mel Ferrer) and his half-sister Morgan LeFay (Anne Crawford) meet as arranged by the sorcerer Merlin (Felix Aylmer) to discuss how to end the bloodshed. Morgan maintains that as she is the only legitimate offspring of the late king, the throne belongs to her, but Merlin puts the adversaries to a test to determine England's rightful ruler. Merlin leads them to Excalbur, a sword embedded in an anvil, and says that according to legend, whoever can remove the sword shall be England's true sovereign. Morgan's knight champion Modred (Stanley Baker) tries in vain to extract the sword, but Arthur removes it easily. Mordred accuses Merlin of witchcraft, and a hearing is arranged with the Council of Kings at the circle of the stone. After advising Arthur that he must prove himself worthy of the throne by his deeds, Merlin instructs him to return the sword to the stone.
King Arthur establishes the greatest reign England has ever seen, and along for the ride are his indispensable Knights of the Round Table, particularly Sir Lancelot. Then, Arthur finds himself a bride, the beautiful Guenivere. While she loves Arthur, she also loves Lancelot and though Lancelot repeatedly fights it, he loves her, too. Treachery is brewing as the evil Morgan le Fay and her knight Sir Modred work to trap them. So begins the decline and eventual fall of Arthur and Camelot.

Terry Jones picked this as part of his Top 10 Monty Python Movie Moments for Esquire Magazine - "This sequence—about 50 shots, with one camera—was shot in one day! It was a nightmare to shoot, and not particularly well-organized. In the end we just shot bits of dancing and singing and cut it to the music later. But it turned out wonderfully!"

KING ARTHUR: LIFE AND LEGEND (INCREDIBLE HISTORY DOCUMENTARY) King Arthur, the mythological figure associated with Camelot, may have been based on a 5th to 6th century British warrior who staved off invading Saxons. King Arthur is a medieval, mythological figure who was the head of the kingdom Camelot and the Knights of the Round Table. It is not known if there was a real Arthur, though it is believed he may have been a Roman-affiliated military leader who successfully staved off a Saxon invasion during the 5th to 6th centuries. His legend has been popularized by many writers, including Geoffrey of Monmouth.

This time a long time ago far away
In castles they'd rule population
Bearing steel, the knights held the border strong
Highest honors
Loyalty for their King and country
A kind of magic there
Battles would rage and the strong would survive
Life's always lost on the frontline
Fearless eyes shadowed souls
Knights of the Round Table
Holding fortress in measured armor
They stand so all alone
Fear is nothing for knights
With broadswords and banners flying high
Courage in forms no one would ever know
Strength their only salvation
Fearless eyes shadowed souls
Knights of the Round Table
And in death they'd never die
And for truth they'd all survive
All the pride showed in their eyes
All the faith would rule their lives
Now today is such on another time
No more knights to keep this world alive
So look inside your memories
The love and hate
There is knight in everyone
Just let him come forth
And when you feel his presence there
Don't turn and run oh no
The Knight is good, the Knight is fair
They're needed everywhere
Knights of the Round Table
Now the time has come
For the Knights to make a stand
To defend the land
And they will know when
The time has come to disappear
But they're always near
Fearless eyes shadowed souls
Knights of the Round Table
And in death they'd never die
And for truth they'd all survive
All the pride showed in their eyes
All the faith would rule their lives
Now today is such on another time
