PREVIEW - Hollywood Avalon ep. 3 - A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1949)

  A largely inessential musical that completely bowdlerizes Mark Twain's satirical novel, it gets by on bright colors and Bing Crosby's charm. Look, I don't hate this movie, it's fine, but there's definitely something lacking--the tunes aren't very memorable, the romance is slight, and it's very strange to have one knight speaking with a very thick New York accent.
