Facts about
Hugh Griffith was asked to play King Pellinore.
The song "If Ever I Would Leave You" won a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song Written for a Motion Picture, even though it was not written especially for the film but for the original stage production of "Camelot", and all the other nominees were songs especially written for films. In addition Frederick Loewe won a Golden Globe for "Best Original Score", a score that he had actually written for the Broadway stage, not for films. This is the only instance in the history of the Golden Globe Awards that this has happened.
Richard Harris desperately sought the lead role, despite being repeatedly refused due to his limited singing ability. At one point he even paid a man to carry a board down the Strand that said, "Harris Better than Burton, Only Harris for Camelot".
