Sean Connery as Green
“Sword of the Valiant,” which will start at the Avon, tomorrow, brings back theadventures of Arthurian times based on the medieval romance, “Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.” Starring Sean Connery and Miles O’Keeffe, it is claimed to be a happy re-' . minder of Errol Flynn and Douglas Fairbanks. O’Keeffe stars as Sir Gawain, a brave knight as-, capable when battling with* his wits as he is when wielding his broadsword.; Previously seen at Tarzan '- in his screen debut opposite Bo Derek, O’Keeffe againuses his striking physique to; good effect. Connery portrays the mysterious Green Knight.' Immortalised as the creator of the cinema’s most enduring superspy, James Bond, he demonstrates his customary screen dynamics — this time tinged with a wisp of villainy in sharp contrast to his modern-day derring-do.
