Chaos in the cosmos! Premiere release of exciting Ron Goodwin score for Walt Disney Production time travel space comedy, loosely based on Mark Twain novel A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court, directed by Russ Mayberry, starring Dennis Dugan, Jim Dale, Ron Moody, Kenneth More (as King Arthur). Energetic tale finds NASA scientist inadvertently launched into space, passing through time warp, landing in England's Camelot during the year 508. Romance with maid Alisande, tangles with Mordred, antics with Merlin, heroics with King Arthur lead to battles and intrigue galore! Ron Goodwin scores largely to period adventure, rousing action of story. Lengthy, climactic battle music highlights with abundance of dazzling brass, rhythmic percussion. Fun to know that Goodwin not only visited legendary Camelot characters here but also in Sword Of Lancelot (aka Lancelot And Guinevere) and Sir Gawain And The Green Knight.
