I don't recognize which movie that was, but it was in color, so I'm guessing no earlier than 1940.
Oh, go ahead and forget your lines, the source material is all rubbish anyway. 
Camelot wasn't in Wales, it was in Scotland.

Merlin lived in Glasgow.
Some of the famous battles were fought at Loch Lomond.
So, Loch Lomond could have been good background music.
(And I'm not just saying this because I wear plaid and my ancestors lived in Scotland for 300 years.

Oh, that will give the medievalists something to argue about.
My medieval specialty is German-language epics from the 12th-13th centuries. They wouldn't have cared where Arthur really came from, because:
a)in their stories, there was no English Channel. People set out on horseback in the morning from somewhere in France and ended up in Cornwall a day or so later, with no boats involved. (No sense of distance, either.)
b) Wolfram von Eschenbach had a character named Terre-de-la-Schoie from a place named Fay-Morgan. Of course, it should have been the other way around - Morgan la Faye from Terre de la Joi/Choix. These names made as much sense then as they do know in computer fantasy games, meaning, 'Take me to the playfield, I have an appointment to slay dragons with my friend johnnyuser42.'
The movie here is some awful epic about Lancelot, starring Cornel Wilde, who's the nitwit cavorting there. You can find it on archive.org.

Cornel Wilde had a glorious start, but in his old age he wasted his talent on the likes of "Fantasy Island," "Love boat," and "Murder, she wrote." And my mother watched him in every one of those. She even videotaped them so she could rewatch them. 
After my mother died, my father asked us if we thought here voluminous videocassettes of those shows might be worth some money. I did not build up his hopes.
