    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      This was one of the few non-Hammer films to be shot at Bray Studios, Berkshire, during the company's occupancy. The production recycled interior and exterior sets immediately recognizable from the Hammer films The Crimson Blade (1963) and The Devil-Ship Pirates (1964).
    • Goofs
      There are lots of instances when the same people die over and over. When Robert is being chased on horseback, the same archer falls off the same horse, on the same corner twice. Also, during the siege of Camelot, the same archers fall off the battlements two or three times.
    • Quotes
      • Robert: We're going to Merlin. He made your father king; perhaps he can make you queen.
      • Katherine: Now I know you're lying. Nobody knows where Merlin is.
      • Robert: Well, that will make things more difficult, won't it?
