	Foster on Film - Swashbucklers
		Unlike Film Noir, which had to wait till the mood was right and the techniques were developed to come into existence, Swashbucklers were ready to go as soon as there was film.
		The Three Musketeers is so omnipresent in film history that anyone interested in Swashbucklers should see some version of it.
		It is a sad film, as it should be.

	Charlton Heston - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Heston also starred in various science fiction films and disaster films, some of which, like Planet of the Apes, The Omega Man, Soylent Green, and Earthquake, were hugely successful at the time of their release and have since become cult classics.
		In the film, he plays an elderly, dying ape who introduces arms to his species by giving a rifle to another of the planet's inhabitants, perhaps as a nod to his then-current role in the National Rifle Association.
		Charlton Heston is the chairman and co-founder of Agamemnon Films.

		This film about the life of Betsy Ross portrays the maker of the first Stars and Stripes flag is a different light due to the relatively unknown story of her.
		The documentary was primarily filmed during the annual reunion for the 109th Infantry Regiment Veterans, of the 28th Division, of WWII.

	THE THREE MUSKETEERS
		While the ladies are lovely to look at, their presence causes the rest of the film to suffer.
		We are forced to sit through a painfully long lovemaking ruse between Kelly and Turner that's three times as long as the musketeers unrelenting and dangerous ride to Calais, a real show stopper in every other version of the tale.
		The stilted flow of the film may be because this version contains the entire story, whereas most others, including the 1973 and 1993 flicks, only tell the first half.

		The stars of the film evoke their characters perfectly, from Faye Dunaway as the duplicitous Milady to Oliver Reed as the tortured Athos (a signature role for Reed).
		The film is a fabulous blend of comedy and darkness, the two complementing and highlighting each other.
		Filmed back-to-back, they are perhaps the last great big-budget, super-cast adventure movies of the 20th Century.

	The Three Musketeers - Muppet Wiki - a Wikia wiki
		The Three Musketeers - Muppet Wiki - a Wikia wiki

	the three musketeers
		Instead, the producers settled on the closest thing to a perfect cast, for each of the actors playing the Musketeers extracts the sharp individualism of their characters with both class and distinction.
		Imaginative set pieces are featured throughout the film, and the action scenes resonate with ferocity (such as the sword fight in the palace laundry and the duel between Athos and a malicious drunk amidst the treacherous mechanisms of a windmill).
		The film also addresses the crudeness of 17th-century life (witness the bystander who gets in the way of a chamberpot being dumped from above), yet reminds us that not much has changed since then, for people still love, quarrel, kill and play tennis.

	THE THREEE MUSKETEERS
		The film begins with the arrival of D'Artagnan (York), a country boy schooled in the art of swordplay by his father, to the busy streets of Paris, looking for a spot amongst the King's elite musketeers.
		He then convinces the King to throw a party in honor of the Queen so that she may be able to show off the necklace he gave her as a present.
		The great thing is there's a sequel, THE FOUR MUSKETEERS, that was filmed at the same time, but released a year later, which is almost as good.

	The Three Musketeers (1973)
		Arriving at the Musketeer headquarters, he is told that he cannot join until he has served in a campaign or distinguished himself by killing someone.
		Part of the score seems to be in the style of the 17th century period in which the film is set.
		The film also features subtitles, and there is a 1.33:1 transfer on the reverse side of the disc.

	Superman The Movie \| Scripts
		For any film project that goes into production, the major element that is critical to its completion is the film's screenplay.
		When Alexander and Ilya Salkind bought the film rights to "Superman" in 1973-74, their concern was to produce a feature film whose story honored its comic-book origins yet brought then-contemporary audiences a new spin on a classic legend.
		Through three separate film treatments the story of both "Superman" and "Superman II" presented a challenge not only to Puzo but also to his successors who would mold and re-mold his story into the final product we all know and love.

		The Three Musketeers was filmed on location in Europe which adds a believability that allows the viewer to be swept away into the story.
		When d'Artagnan is arrested and interrogated about the whereabouts of the three musketeers, he overhears plans of the Cardinal's to send a secret treaty to the Duke of Buckingham ("who rules England the way the Cardinal rules France") in an attempt to overthrow the King's rule and claim the crown for himself.
		Rescued from the chopping block by the three musketeers, they immediately give chase to the Cardinal's messenger as his henchmen all over the country pursue them to claim the reward for their capture.

	Amazon.ca: The Three Musketeers: Video: Richard Lester,Oliver Reed,Raquel Welch,Richard Chamberlain,Michael York,Frank ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Lester filmed this and its sequel (The Four Musketeers) at the same time, but the studio opted to go with a sequel as the whole movie would have been too long.
		After facing humiliation in his daily exploits, he inadvertently offends three musketeers at different times and each force him to duel to the death the next day (the musketeers: Athos is Oliver Reed, Porthos is Frank Finlay, and Aramis is Richard Chamberlain).
		In some stunts, the musketeers are seen for short spans of time with no rapiers - their hands are empty, as are their scabbards, while before and after they wield their swords.

	GreenCine \| product main - The Four Musketeers (1973-1975)
		De Winter is determined to get revenge against the Musketeers, and when she learns that D'Artagnan is infatuated with the lovely Constance (Raquel Welch), she first tries to foil their romance by seducing D'Artagnan herself, and then by persuading Rochefort (Christopher Lee) to kidnap Constance.
		The Four Musketeers was filmed concurrently with The Three Musketeers; it was originally intended to be one film, but when director Richard Lester realized the movie would be over three and a half hours long, the decision was made to release it as two separate features instead.
		Richard Lester's adaptation of The Three Musketeers was only the latest of many when released in 1974, but it arrived with a spirit all its own, one influenced as much by Lester's '60s work as the Alexandre Dumas classic.

	The Three Musketeers [1993]
		McGann is excellent in the role, and his facial expressions at the merest hint of danger are a joy to watch.
		This is not a great film for those who are looking for a faithful adaptation of the Dumas novel.
		Purists should skip this film and instead watch the 1973 version, which more closely follows the Dumas novel.

	Monsters At Play: The Complete Musketeers Review
		Originally, the project was intended as a single film, but late in the game, the Salkinds made the decision to split their one epic-length Musketeer movie into two shorter films (which apparently resulted in a barrage of lawsuits from angry actors who had only been paid to make one movie).
		It's up to D'Artagnan and the Musketeers to retrieve the diamonds and prevent the King from discovering his Queen's infidelity, and that means plenty of swashbuckling action.
		The Four Musketeers (subtitled The Revenge of Milady) carries on with the story: D'Artagnan (now a Musketeer) and his three compatriots must foil the Cardinal's plot to have Milady De Winter (Faye Dunaway) assassinate the Duke of Buckingham.

	Three Musketeers: The Queen's Diamonds, The Movie Review (1973) from Channel 4 Film
		Wide-eyed bumpkin D'Artagnan (York) comes a cropper after heeding his father's parting words: "Fight, remember!" Barely minutes after setting foot in Paris, the feisty fellow has already challenged three strangers to a duel: luckily for him, they come by the names of Athos (Reed), Porthos (Finlay) and Aramis (Chamberlain).
		It's up to D'Artagnan and the Three Musketeers to retrieve them.
		Unlike other Musketeer outings, 'Flashman' writer MacDonald Fraser's script and dialogue remains pretty faithful to the source material, without tripping over the swordplay (which is refreshingly unshowy and realistic - often a swift kick in the balls will often suffice in the fight scenes).

	THE THREE MUSKETEERS (1973) • THE FOUR MUSKETEERS
		These veteran musketeers, with their motto of "One For All and All For One", show D'Artagnan that true comradeship is more valuable than any amount of treasure or elevated station in society.
		Their plot is frustrated, however, as brave D'Artagnan and his three friends have pledged their swords and their lives to protect not only Constance but the honor of their queen.
		Each part covers the individual films respectively, with the recollections of the participants intercut with numerous film clips.

	SoundStage! Network Home Theater & Sound -- Collector's Corner
		Lester proceeded to fill The Three Musketeers with some of the most realistic swashbuckling ever committed to film, along with a generous soupçon of slapstick mayhem, a wallow in Italianate neorealism, enough (literal) cloak-and-dagger work to grab and keep the audience’s attention -- and somehow packaged it all into a genuinely warmhearted and majestic film.
		Still, lovers of the Musketeers movies could fantasize that they were watching a pristine copy -- at least during those rare moments when they weren’t gripped by the fantastic swordplay (never bettered for reality) or rolling out of their chairs from laughter.
		Dumas’s The Three Musketeers was the basis for Lester’s first two Musketeers films, and Lester based The Return of the Musketeers on Dumas’s second volume, Twenty Years Later.

	A dash of derring-do - theage.com.au
		One for all and all for one: the cast of The Three Musketeers.
		These musketeer types whip out the rapiers at the drop of a chapeau, and it should be said at the outset that the duelling - fairly intrinsic to the beloved tale of 17th century derring-do - is staged with considerable flair and dash.
		It embraces the etiquette of the period and the elegance of the clothes, while at the same time indulging in knockabout byplay, with asides to the audience, doubles entendres and a host of anachronisms.

	Bright Lights Film Journal \| The Superman Films of Richard Lester
		It was at his suggestion that filming on part 2, which had been shooting simultaneously with part 1, be put on hold until 1 was released and was (hopefully) a major success.
		Clark regains his powers and triumphs over the three Kryptonian villains — with the closing scene of Superman reaffirming his commitment to the world to the President — but it's an undeniably bittersweet victory, for it assuredly means the end of his romance with Lois as Superman.
		For the life of me, I can't think of a superhero film that ends this ambiguously — there is a sense of real loss when Clark kisses Lois on the cheek one final time, erasing (in a moment of magic realism) her memory of their love affair while he was Superman.

		It is a 5-Disc set that includes all three of the serials that John Wayne made in 1932-33, The Shadow of the Eagle, The Hurricane Express, and The Three Musketeers.
		You may also be interested in the three serials that John Wayne did in the early 1930's: The Shadow Of The Eagle (1932), The Hurricane Express (1932), The Three Musketeers (1933).
		This was a comeback film of sorts for Gail Russell as she had not made a film in five years.

		Soon D'Artagnan is stealing hearts and stealing food with equal aplomb as he joins their campaign to defend the queen (Geraldine Chaplin) against a plot devised by the scheming cardinal (Charlton Heston) and his cold-hearted accomplice Milady de Winter (Faye Dunaway).
		The film does move along well enough without a full understanding of the details of the plot, but is much better enjoyed if one knows the characters' motivations and goals.
		This is best illustrated by the hilarious passageway mutterings of the dwarves (just observed in the previous scene with trays of food fastened to the tops of their heads), with one of the little guys muttering something about punching someone in the throat.

		This Three Musketeers comes with the sort of light-footed brio you'd expect from a swords-and-scandals romp that casts Gene Kelly as the boyish hero and Vincent Price as the head bad guy.
		The film is so eccentrically cast that all those American accents place King Louis XIII's Paris somewhere between Ohio and Colorado.
		Still, this Three Musketeers delivers enough of its promise of fun, and Kelly is always a joy to behold.

		Rochefort has a score to settle with the gallant three musketeers.
