  Three Comrades - Synopsis - Moviefone
The three friends pool their savings and open an auto-repair shop, and it is this that brings them in contact with wealthy motorist Lionel Atwill--and with Atwill's lovely travelling companion Margaret Sullavan.
This becomes increasingly difficult when one of the comrades, Young, is killed during a political riot (it's a Nazi riot, though not so-labelled by ever-careful MGM).
In the end, the four comrades are only two in number, with nothing but memories to see them through the cataclysmic years to come.

 Anti-Fascism in Soft Focus?
The three title characters represent three possible reactions to post-war disillusionment: Gottfried (Robert Young) is a political idealist and activist; Otto (Franchot Tone) tries to succeed in business as an auto repairman, though his true love is his sportscar, Baby; and Erich (Robert Taylor) is an aimless romantic.
Far from being geographically unspecific, Three Comrades features a Germany not unlike Little Man: a land of picturesque towns, attractive scenery, drink, song, and good fellowship, whose very social fabric is threatened by economic hardship and escalating political violence.
By the studios' emphasizing their status as, first and foremost, Borzagean melodramas, Little Man and Three Comrades could be made even as Hollywood was avoiding politically controversial films about Germany and, in the case of Three Comrades, in the face of direct pressure from the German government itself.

 The Swine who Rewrote F. Scott Fitzgerald: Joseph L. Mankiewicz as Producer
In Three Comrades there is never any doubt that she is “performing” – an ersatz display appropriately applauded with an Oscar nomination, and followed a year later by an Oscar award to Spencer Tracy at his hammiest, as a Portuguese fisherman in Captains Courageous (Victor Fleming, 1937).
But what is ersatz in Sullavan in Three Comrades (her “acting”) is not the same thing as what is authentic (her presence).
But in Three Comrades, the game is no longer Borzage's, but Mankiewicz's, who was always there on the set, perpetually helpful, and Sullavan is merely an actress, devouring scenes with in-your-face calculation, milking a small repertoire of synthetic poses, stage tricks, and robotic gestures.

First published in 1844, Alexandre Dumas's swashbuckling epic chronicles the adventures of D'Artagnan, a gallant young nobleman who journeys to Paris in 1625 hoping to join the ranks of musketeers guarding Louis XIII.
He soon finds himself fighting alongside three heroic comrades -- Athos, Porthos, and Aramis -- who seek to uphold the honor of the king by foiling the wicked plots of Cardinal Richelieu and the beautiful spy "Milady."
"The lasting and universal popularity of The Three Musketeers shows that Dumas, by artlessly expressing his own nature in the persons of his heroes, was responding to that craving for action, strength and generosity which is a fact in all periods and all places."
