A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1949)
Directed by Tay Garnett
A bump on the head sends Hank Martin, 1905 auto mechanic, to Arthurian England, 528 A.D., where he is befriended by Sir Sagramore le Desirous and gains power by judicious use of technology. He and Alisande, the King's niece, fall in love at first sight, which draws unwelcome attention from her fiancée Sir Lancelot; but worse trouble befalls when Hank meddles in the kingdom's politics.

What critics compared A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court to
King Arthur and his band of legendary knights have fascinated storytellers as diverse as Mark Twain ("A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court") to Looney Tunes ("Bugs Bunny in King Arthur's Court").
The first can hardly be called original, since it’s cribbed from Mark Twain’s A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court.
