Cast: Miles O'Keeffe, Cyrielle Claire, Leigh Lawson, Sean Connery, Trevor Howard, Peter Cushing, Ronald Lacey, Lila Kedrova, John Rhys-Davies, Wilfrid Bramwell, Bruce Lidington, Douglas Wilmer, Brian Coburn, David Rappaport, Emma Sutton
The old English tale of Sir Gawain (Miles O'Keeffe)–who must solve the riddle posed by the Green Knight (Sean Connery) or die at the Green Knight's hand–is recreated in this film. He has one year to solve it, and the adventures are many as he goes about the land in search of the answer. Connery's role is a highlight. Previously made in 1973 as "Gawain and the Green Knight."
