Don’t Let It Be Forgot – Part 3
We continue with the Third Elisberg Industries Film Festival with our presentation of the original 1960 cast production of Camelot. This video is Act 1, Scene 5, the live on-stage audio and script only, though no video but many wonderful production photos.
It begins with Julie Andrews and cast singing “The Lusty Month of May,” which leads into the bumbling arrival of the whimsical ‘King Pellinore,’ played by Robert Coote (who also had played ‘Col. Pickering’ in Lerner & Loewe’s My Fair Lady), who is a befuddled old acquaintance of when Arthur was a young boy. Queen Guinevere invites him to put aside his unending quest for the moment and spend some time in Camelot. As he goes off to settle in, Arthur comes in to introduce Guinevere to Lancelot (played by Robert Goulet), a meeting that goes poorly for his total, though unintended arrogance.
