Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMark Twain got his idea for Hank Martin to use the eclipse for his benefit from Christopher Columbus who used an eclipse knowingly to perhaps alter history. Stranded in Jamaica in 1503, on his fourth voyage, Columbus and his crew were wearing out their welcome with the natives who were feeding them. Columbus knew a lunar eclipse was coming, so he "predicted" the moon's disappearance. The natives begged him to bring it back and, of course, he did in due time.
- GoofsWhen Hank is tied to the post for burning, the executioner holds the proclamation in front of him as he reads. His shadow is clearly visible on the paper, yet Hank, who is behind the paper and facing the sun, is able to focus the sun's rays on the paper with his magnifying glass, setting it on fire.
- Quotes
Alisande La Carteloise: Pardon, my lord, but the monster seemeth a gentle soul.
King Arthur: Gentle?
Alisande La Carteloise: He has nice eyes.

Quite Enjoyable
My youngest sister and I have a tradition of watching old movies that are set in older times. "Jason and the Argonauts" was classic; she's young enough to get scared by the realistic effects of present day, so the special effects in these movies just makes her--and I--laugh. But this movie was different. It was low on the special effects, which 86ed our tradition, but we had fun watching it all the same. It was enjoyable and funny, with an easy plot to follow (which always helps when one watches a movie with a seven-year-old).
If you want my advice, watch it. You'll be entertained, even if the same idea was copied 10,000 times.
