Thanks for the lyrics of this beautiful movie greetings from mexico see you , this movie remebering my childhood wonderful years for me bye

This is my favorite song from this movie and I used to watch it everyday when I was in middle school and high school. My teachers would allow me to watch any musical movie or show and in return for them letting me watch the movies I would give them like 4 or 5 hours of honest school work sadly I dropped out of school and listening to this song makes me sad but also happy that I was able to have one brief shining moment of happiness whenever I would watch this movie

Thanks!!

Thank you so much. Wonderfult posting!!

I love this scene with Harris 💖

Would that be December 1981 in New York? I was in the audience for one of those performances.

MaryAnn Mccubbin brilliant unmatched talent!

@@kenbell3250 It wouldn't have been because he went on touring with it until about '85 or '86. I also saw him on B'way in Dec.'81 and then again at Valley Forge Music Fair in 1983. By then, he had taken over the direction and had cut 'What Do the Simple Folk Do?' ??!!

Oh! How lucky you are. I’m sorry I missed it on Broadway. I loved his velvety voice!

I’m so envious, I’m far too young to have had this experience but I can’t help but long for it anyways 😭

My mom died too at a young age. I am sure she is looking down on you smiling from heaven.

She loves ❤️ you.

My mother loved this and had me watch it. She is gone and I just remembered how important it is to show her granddaughter this musical. I miss my mother so much ❤❤❤❤❤ I’m so sorry for your loss. We are in a club no one wants to join. But this reminds me of her.

May she RIP

It's true that Harris and Redgrave are commensurate actors, but I believe it might have been a better film with Richard Burton and Julie Andrews. Apparently from what I've read, neither of them wanted to do it. Anyway, I'm grateful for what we have.

I like the movie version the way it is but I just wish somebody would've filmed the original play with the original actors. Pity they didn't usually do that, back then.

"Consummate"-not commensurate.

Umm 🤔 were is NLE?

Richard Harris will always be the real "Dumbledore" , AFAIC...

Jeannie E. H Agreed. He portrayed the character of Albus much more faithfully to the book. Michael did admit in an interview that he basically portrays himself in costume. Much prefer Richard.

So sad Richard Harris died between "Chamber of Secrets" and "Prisoner of Azkaban". During an interview on the HP set, he couldn't praise the series enough, and said he especially loved the "feel like family" atmosphere director Chris Columbus had brought. He said he loved being "Dumbledore" and was greatly looking forward to filming the entire series. Not only the fans and the series were cheated, but especially, Richard Harris was cheated. I freely admit to tearing up a bit whenever I've seen it. RIP Sir Richard; you were a class act whomever you portrayed 💖

And not to mention the enormous school girl crush I'd had on him ever since "Camelot". 😚

Well he was actually very sick as Dumbledore and thats why he couldnt muster more than a whisper, if anything hes loud and raucous, just look up his drinking stories with peter otoole loud and laughing and all of it, he died before harry potter was even released in the states, so what you heard was a man forced to whisper who yelled anyway and thus had a strange sound to it. Think of it like Miles Davis, could you ever imagine what hed sound like if he yelled considering how normal voice sounds?

she still is

The Young Daniel Radcliffe should get over himsel’!! Running up against such a giant of talent should have been a privilege for the wee teenage scrot! Something must have rubbed off on him as I was blown away by his depiction of young Kipling!

That got stuck in my head for years. My mother got the LP.

lol Same here!

Same

Yep.

Me too

The original is always better. This movie will make you 😭

BJ Richard It’s not an opera It’s called a musical. Just saying

@@defaultc00kies63 I was blessed to have seen Burton onstage (the 1980 revival of Camelot). Trust me, the magnetism was there in spades! Maybe it didn't translate to the screen, you just had to have seen him in person. Afterwards I saw the same production twice with Richard Harris. Love them both and wouldn't think of comparing them. Each brought unique qualities.

@Margaret Walker: When he was cast in Camelot, Richard Burton was a lot different, a lot younger, a lot cuter, and probably a lot gentler as well, than the way you're probably remembering him. Go and look up the KZfaq video with him in "What Do the Simple Folk Do?" with Julie Andrew's. Wow. I mean, really, wow. Because I almost didn't even know that it really was Richard Burton. I'm too young to remember him being like that, and he really was splendid back then. Robert Goulet, same thing. They were both a lot different when they were young. Wow. Thanks to KZfaq, at least those of us who could previously have hardly imagines either of those men in either of roles...have the opportunity to see them in brief clips and photos and such, at least. For the record. I could not possibly imagine Richard Burton the way he seemed a couple of decades later ever being cast or considered either. But that's...different. *Totally* different. I mean it. Really. Just travel back in time a few (more) decades. ^____^

The playfulness and magnetism are absolutely there in the clip of "What Do the Simple Folk Do?" with a quite young (and quite handsome 😍) Richard Burton starring opposite a young and innocent-looking Julie Andrew's. When he stops whistling and she doesn't yet, and he looks at her with that look of, "And just what, dear, do you think you are doing?" ^____^ Cute. So cute. And so worth watching. Wishing so much that someone would've filmed (and, of course, carefully kept) the whole thing (of their version). Wow. Who knew? Not me. I was too young. I wasn't even *born* yet at the time. That's why I'm so glad there's KZfaq. ^____^ Well, not *only* for *that* reason, of course. 😉 But that's certainly *one of* my reasons. ^____^ Oh. My. Stars. Anyone here who has not seen that clip yet, really should. Please? ^___^

I can see easily now how Richard Burton first became famous. 😍 What I think is sad is how blase (sorry, I don't have an accent mark!) he seemed to become after he had been in the business for a whole. It's honestly almost like not even watching the same person.

"while", not "whole". Yes, I do have autocorrect, it is trying to be ever so very *helpful* as usual. Thank you. @___@ (looks around and shakes head at autocorrect, reminds it *not* to be quite such a helpful little elf in thr future. As they say on Facebook, autocorrect is unfortunately likely to lead to "posting some thong you didn't Nintendo". Yes. Exactly. Thank you, autocorrect. (Not an exaggeration, by the way. It really actually *does* often like to "correct" the word "thing" to the word "thong". It's *done* that very thing [not thong] to me at least three times. Actually. Really. Aaaaargh. @___@)

But it wasn't his favorite play after that? What about before he was shot? What was his favorite play then? Death of a Salesman? Cats? Did he enjoy the over-hyped Hamilton?

it was his favorite when he was shot !

Cierto. Creo que el presidente Kennedy soñaba con Camelot, el lugar de paz, el hogar donde refugiarse tras la lucha.

Although this song was written to be joyful, it is forever linked to the tragedy that is John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

Carolyn Martin because she is human. A flawed character. I don’t know that she loved Lancelot any more than Arthur.

@@jdizzle8751 I'm human, you're human, but I don't think I would betray my GF, would you betray your GF/BF/Spouse? And before you come with, "but there are people who..." shut it, I'm not saying she's a unrealistic character, I just don't think there's justification for what she did, it was wrong, she didn't do it because she's human, she did because she wanted to

SinnerTheSinful before you tell me to shut it, maybe read my post again. I wasn’t justifying anything. I was saying the reason she had the affair with Lancelot was because she was human. Not saying it’s right. She chose to, which is a human action one chooses to take. But you gotta be human, and acting on impulse, desire and pleasure...very human things.

@@jdizzle8751 I believe the OP was simply commenting that Arthur is a better pick than Lancelot.

Buckaroo Banzai which I totally agree with. He is definitely the better man.

Just here for Richard

I can't unread this...THANKS ALOT!!!@ NOT.

Tristan Haije even if he lived longer than average age he’d still likely be dead. He’d have to be 90!

No one better "woke" it. All the different versions of the story of Camelot need to be left alone and preserved in our memories.
