Amid the instability of World War II, shy single girl Celia (Patricia Roc) joins the assembly line at an aircraft parts factory, forms unbreakable bonds with her new rooming-house friends and falls in love with a pilot (Gordon Jackson), who marries her before leaving for battle. This heartwarming wartime drama illustrates the importance of working together and boosting each other's morale in times of hopelessness.

Long live King Arthur and Camelot! Yet in all of ancient England's newfound peace there is 'a fraying link in Arthur's chain:' the growing passion between heroic knight Sir Lancelot and beautiful Queen Guinevere. One of history's most beloved legends is vibrantly retold in an adaptation downplaying fantasy elements and giving 6th-century England a new kind of fantasy: a dazzling Hollywood sheen bursting with the CinemaScope-sized pageantry, conflicts and imposing citadels of location-lensed 1950s spectaculars. Robert Taylor is Lancelot, sworn to serve his King (Mel Ferrer) but devoted to his Queen (Ava Gardner). Richard Thorpe, who teamed with Taylor for eight films, directs this colorful epic of bravery and honor.
