Quotes from
King Arthur:
Merlin told me once, "Never be too disturbed if you don't understand what a woman is thinking. They don't do it very often".
King Arthur: Merlin, make me a hawk! Let me fly away from here!
King Arthur: I love them and they answer me with pain and torment. Be it sin or not sin, they betray me in their hearts and that's far sin enough. I can feel it in their eyes, I can feel it when they speak, and they must pay for it and be punished. I shall not be wounded and not return it in kind! I'm through with feeble hoping! I demand a man's vengeance!
[Calming down]
King Arthur: Proposition: I'm a king, not a man. And a very civilized king. Could it possibly be civilized to destroy the thing I love? Did they ask for this calamity? Can passion be selected?

In 1972, the Camelot Castle was renovated into a Tibetan Lamasery for the musical remake of Lost Horizon, and it was used extensively in the TV series Kung Fu. In the 1980's, the back lot castle was torn down to make room for an office building.
