Can't remember name of time travel movie?
What I seem to remember is that it might have had comedic great Danny Kaye in it. In this movie, a man somehow ends up in medieval times and is about to be burned at the stake but manages to free himself. Everything after that is a complete blank.

A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1949)
starring Bing Crosby, Rhonda Fleming, Sir Cedric Hardwicke, William Bendix
TCM synopsis excerpt:
In England in 1912, Hank Martin, an American blacksmith, visits the Pendragon castle and tells Lord Pendragon, who is laid up with a head cold, the story of how he fell in love with Alisande La Carteloise, whose portrait hangs on the castle wall. Years earlier, in Connecticut, Hank is knocked out in a storm and wakes in the year 528 A.D. He is immediately seized by a dim-witted knight named Sagramore and brought before the aging King Arthur of Camelot, who has a head cold. Sagramore accuses Hank of possessing demonic powers, and Merlin, the king's wicked sorcerer, orders him killed, although Alisande, the king's beautiful niece, pleads with her uncle to spare the handsome stranger's life. Hank escapes being burned at the stake by focusing the crystal from his pocket watch on the sun, thus starting a fire that ignites Merlin's robe. Believing that Hank has supernatural powers, the king grants him the terms of their surrender: That Sagramore be made Hank's squire; that Hank be given a humble blacksmith's shop; and that the king host a ball in his honor.
