The Filmgoers' Annual 87 WILL ROGERS AS SIR BOSS ' The Yankee at King Arthur's Court " haj been made on a tremendous scale, the reproductions of castles and villages being complete in every detail, and the famous tournament being like the finest pages of a Sir Walter Scott romance come magnificently to life. And, of course, there is the storming of the castle of Queen Morgan Le Fay, and the fateful eclipse and all those very wonderful things which make this story take its place among the great imaginative romances of literature. It is impossible to exaggerate the joyousness ol this picture. In its whimsical humour and its happy adventure it is something unique in the world of film entertainment. It is full of clean, kind, uproarious laughter. It is all Will Rogers, and it is the best thing he has done in the whole of his brilliant career. He has put his talent into it, and his heart into it. And when you see the castle of Queen Morgan stormed by an army of armoured knights who arrive driving their own baby cars, when a very modern tank joins the battle and when the young hero arrives by helicopter, you will admit that it is great fun.
