Remember when ABC & 20th Century Fox brought Here Come The Double Deckers to the US in 1970? Well, a year earlier, the creators of Double Deckers had developed a series of short features for British cinemas in the mold of Hal Roach's legendary Our Gang, and the 7 protagonists were the prototypes for the Double Deckers.
The Magnificent 6 1/2 enjoyed a modest four year run in the UK theatres, with the cast changing with each series of shorts. Three of the shorts were packaged for import to the US for The CBS Children's Film Festival, later in 1969, and three more in 1973.
"When Knights Were Bold" was one of the 1969 shorts imported to CBS.
I'm only seeing this for the first time today, so, no rating.
