Episode 2: Camp-a-lot
This week, we continue our journey through Vanessa Redgrave's best with one of our childhood favorites: 1967's musical romp-turned-tragedy, Camelot. Watching it as an adult 50 years after its release, we found some pretty gaping plot holes, but we think Richard Harris's guyliner and Vanessa's unbelievably luxe knitwear more than make up for it.
A few notes:
- Vanessa Redgrave and Franco Nero had the love story of our era
- Florence Welch owes so much to this movie
- Lindsay teaches Molly the meaning of the word "cortege"
- Did you clock the most pretentious sentence Molly's ever uttered about her replica Vaphio cups?
- You should really watch that JT LeRoy documentary
Lindsay's take: 4 out of 5 cowl-necked wool gowns. The whole last 30-45 minutes is a great time to double-screen, if you happen to be into that sort of thing.
Molly's take: 3.5 out of 5 petty knights. It feels wrong to give this movie a lower than perfect rating but if I can get real, I can't really handle the second act.
