Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Brand new, factory sealed, DVD manufactured in Taiwan. NTSC Region 1, playable in North America. Full screen color image. Original English dialog. Optional subtitles in Chinese or English do not appear unless you go to the subtitles menu and turn them on. On screen menus are in English and are easy to use. Cast includes Cornel Wilde, Maureen O'Hara, Robert Douglas and Gladys Cooper. The following review appears in Amazon for the VHS edition: "We were in our Cornel Wilde phase when we bought this video. And, granted, Wilde is a sumptuous feast for the eyes in the film. A champion fencer before he burst onto the entertainment scene, he struts his stuff here, performing his own impressive stunts to perfection. Maureen O'Hara, deservedly dubbed the Queen of Technicolor, is an undeniable vision, with her flashing green eyes and her lush red hair. She portrays the daughter of Artho, a famed Musketeer, and she is easily the match of any man with a sword. Admittedly, the storyline is an intriguing one, with the beseiged Queen of France summoning the sons (and, unbeknownst to her, one daughter) of the original Musketeers to rush to the aid of her beloved country. And, while the climactic uprising of the oppressed French populace stirred us in this, our own, era of powerless citizenry, I must warn you that the film plays like something at a kiddie matinee. The plot is simplistic and the acting stilted. It is beautifully crafted, however - an innocent trifle worthy of a rainy afternoon viewing."

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Version of the Three Musketeers., March 23, 2007

By	Reliable Reviews (Carmel Valley, California) - See all my reviews

This is the best version of the Three Musketeers. An all-star cast; Alan Hale Jr., Cornel Wilde, and Maureen O'Hara. Well cast, good action, a lively pace, a good story, and charm.

I also highly recommend "The Three Musketeers - 1939" with Don Ameche.

Not one of the great swashbucklers but enjoyable. Mo is spectacular, and keeps up with the boys admirably, especially in the sword play. Not an actress I would've chosen if there was a scene (and there is) where she was supposed to be mistaken for a boy. Of all the actresses in Hollywood, Maureen O'Hara is one of the least boy-like. It loses one star for the quality of the image--looks like the DVD was mastered from a VHS tape, resolution is mediocre. MAN I wish this and "Fire Over Africa" (Mo as Jane Russell) would make it to DVD.
