Siege of stupidity

Siege of the Saxons (1963)

Directed be Nathan Juran this film stars Janette Scott, Ronald Lewis and Ronald Howard. King Arthur dies and the Saxons plot to steal the kingdom from his daughter who is aided by a woodsman.

There are more anachronisms in this film than you can shake a stick at, it also does not help that the cast is full of second rate actors and suspect props. To try to get by on a lower budget the film cheats and uses footage from other films and does at least manage to blend these in seamlessly. What plot there is has little going for it and puts in elements of Robin Hood using the King Arthur back ground to tempt in the audience.

1/5
