A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1949)

The classic Mark Twain story as a Bing Crosby vehicle. Here Crosby is a blacksmith turned mechanic from 1905 Connecticut, who is unexplainably whisked back in time to 7th Century England. Once there he wows the locals with the magic of match‘s, a magnifying lens, and a farmers almanac, while romancing the red headed Rhonda Fleming, and saving the perpetually sneezing King Arthur (Sir Cedric Hardwicke) from the machinations of the evil Merlin ( Murvyn Vye). Entertaining, but far from boundary stretching. 3 out of 5.
