Description

Hollywood tries to give a broad adaptation of Malory's Le Morte Darthur, and is fitfully successful--bright Technicolor and on-location filming doesn't make up for Robert Taylor's defiantly-American accent, and the bowdlerized romance between Lancelot and Guinevere doesn't exactly sizzle, but as a product of 1950s studio filmmaking, it could be worse.   We'd like to than Patreon-supporter Stephen Cooke for providing us with a copy of the film.   This is a preview of our Patreon-only episode; to listen to the full episode, support the show by signing up for our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/maryvsmovies

Sure, the 1980s were a great decade for film. But have you seen all of them? No, neither has Mary. In fact, some pretty big films passed her by, what with being in kindergarten at the time: A Nightmare on Elm Street, Moonstruck, My Neighbor Totoro... So it's time to fix that. Artwork, opening and closing themes by Dennis Lingg Produced and edited by Mary Jones
