good children's film, 21 June 2000
Author: sswenson

In sixth century Britain, a magician helps a man become king and put an end to decades of anarchy. Made-for-TV film takes some liberties with the original story. Director's fondness for the material is obvious; acting, cinematography and special effects create supernatural feel. Suitable for children and adults. (Rating B+)
