Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

A decidedly muted musical version of Mark Twain's story about a 20th century blacksmith transported back into the world of Camelot. It's a highly amiable affair, enlivened by lush Technicolor photography, mindlessly amusing humour, and a marvellous performance by Bendix (at his best singing 'Busy Doin' Nothin'' with Hardwicke and Crosby).
