"Filmed stage plays are, by their very nature, compromised aesthetic experiences. And Camelot, a flawed but haunting American classic, needs a live production to fully realize its potential."

"The cast is impeccable, the songwriting is from one of the theatre's masters, but the direction lets them down badly, turning Can-Can into a lumbering, stilted bore."
