When Katherine Davidson falls into an underground ice cave beneath Stonehenge, she finds that Merlin and his lover Niniane have been trapped there for a millennium, whereupon Merlin and Niniane proceed to show Katherine the story of how Morgan le Fay trapped them.

Love cancels all curses, love breaks all spells. Love is a magic greater than any wizard or witch, warlock or shaman.

  1. Merlin and the Sword by David Wyles, directed by Clive Donner (at limited theaters, Davao, Phillipines, 5 January 1985) [We’re uncertain whether this debut in the Philippines had the title “Merlin and the Sword” or whether that title was not introduced until the later VHS tape. We also don’t know whether the Philipines release was the full CBS broadcast from later in 1985 or was the shortened version for the VHS (or possibly some other cut).].

  1. Release—Before the CBS-TV (USA) broadcast titled Arthur the King, there was a theatrical release titled Merlin and the Sword in Davao, Philippines, and this same title was later used on home video (which we’ve seen as early as 1987 in the USA).
