Most of the movies I’m interested in seeing are not generally available online (or for retail in Australia).
When I saw Bing Crosby’s A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur’s Court had been released on bluray (nicely restored) it was an easy decision to purchase my own copy (from eBay rather than Amazon this time).
It reminds me of the sort of fare I associated with Saturday or Sunday afternoon television growing up. That seems so long ago I wonder if I imagined it.
Crosby had quite a respectable acting career, and the few songs present in this movie don’t add much.
It actually stands up as a light romantic comedy.
All the supporting cast are in fine from, with Bing’s laconic presence allowing everyone else to shine.
