Have you read my review on Robert's Fectio website?
'Arthur of the Britons'' starring Oliver Tobias back in the 1970's had a good stab at this. It is available on DVD Stateside and is being released in the UK soon according to Amazon. Sadly no strong Female characters but you did have Ambrosius running around in 'Roman' kit!

Quote:Graham, I watched "King Arthur" on a borrowed DVD as I would not even spend the money to rent it. And it was just as bad as I had both heard and expected it to be. The low point of all low points was the rather corny replay of the "Miracle of the Ice" from Sergei Eisenstein's classic "Alexander Nevsky."

Quote:One of these days, someone will actually try to do a serious job of placing Arthur in a post-Roman environment and actually permitting the mythos of the times to play a part.
