OK, slightly off-topic here but,
this thread (one of the few on Gawain and the Green Knight) reminded me of the film, which may have been made in the 70s or early 80s, anyone else remember? Anyway, the film locations included Castell Coch just north of Cardiff and Merthyr Mawr sand dunes by Bridgend. I'm afraid I remember little of it apart from the locations, which were examples of the few times I'd seen anything 'local' on film, as this was aeons before Dr. Who took over Cardiff!

How does it feel to live on the Time Rift? I'm quite jealous if you have the dashing Captain Jack hanging around and frequent visits from the Doctor ![]() Anyway...what I came to ask was...do you mean the film with Sean Connery in it? I've heard about this but not yet seen it. Just how many fantasy type films did the guy do?

Hi Lal,
I couldn't remember Sean Connery in it so I bowed to the inevitable and Googled, it turns out that I remember the previous version (1973!) and old Sean was in the 1984 version, apparently the '73 film was a bit of a clunker http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070093/usercomments though I am happy to see that it may have inspired Monty Python and the Holy Grail, which is surely good enough for anyone. I must add that I saw it as a repeat on TV some years later than 1973, honest! As for the Time Rift, I'm exiled to the land of the Saes these days but I drop back in every so often (hmm some weird time rift effects 1973 style oddness here maybe? - if only!) Cheers
