Additional Notes
Many scenes were shot but never made the final cut of the movie surrounding the love affair between Lancelot and Guinevere. It turned out that adulatory was a difficult pill to swallow in a musical romantic film. The gown was created for Ms. Redgrave in one of the many scenes which were shot. It appears the scenes were shot because there is the photo of Guinevere bound and gagged with horse. One can only imagine what that scene was about.
