Taylor plays the legendary sixth-century knight who bravely battles for his king, and Gardner is the queen who falls for him. Extensive attention to detail of sets and costumes, superior photography, and standout performances by Taylor, Ferrer, and Woolf put this a cut above other Arthurian
legend films. The film was nominated for two Oscars: Best Art Direction/Set Decoration and Best Sound.
