The first edition of this show has Henry Ford himself speaking. The story is a lot of fun - the simple yet shrewd Yankee helping King Arthur defeat the baddies and get the girl and introduce democracy. The story is updated to have the technology include aeroplanes. No big star, they keep the satire of medieval life (e.g. chivalry) and it ages very well.
