Torregrossa, M. A. Itemsin this filmography arelisted by the yearsthat theyfirst appearedin theaters,on television or on videocassette.I havemadeeveryeffort to include all works of Arthurian film andtelevision in which Merlin hasappearedor beenmentioned. Despitethis, I am sureI have missed many appearances just because I have either not seen them or have not received any information on them. All air times, when provided, are listed as Eastern standard. This listing covers material that appeared up to December 1998, but I have also updated entries regarding videocassettes, which have appeared on videocassette between January - August 1999. Acknowledgements I originally began this filmography to accompany my article in Film & History (see "Works Consulted" below), and I am grateful to Martha Driver, Peter C. Rollins, and Deborah Carmichael for their interest in and continued support of my research. Unlike most genres of Arthurian popular culture, research in Arthurian films is a relatively recent topic for investigation. Much of the initial research was undertaken by Kevin J. Harty of La Salle University in the late 1980s and culminated in 1991 with a collection of essays entitled Cinema Arthuriana: Essays on Arthurian Film (Garland). This current filmography would not be possible without his pioneering work in the field, and I thank him for his help in compiling this listing and for keeping me up to date on the state of the scholarship on Arthurian films. I also wish to thank Daniel Nastali and Michael N. Salda for answering questions during the evolution of this filmography. My gratitude also goes to Mary Alice Grellner for providing copies of severalfilms from her personalcollection.
