    5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Adventure Story
    Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2005
    Verified Purchase
    This pair of films is almost certainly the finest film version not only of The Three Musketeers, but of any of Dumas' novels. While it may not be truly "great," it is superbly made and one (or rather two) of the most enjoyable films I have ever seen. Under Richard Lester's direction, it is a light-hearted adventure story, but with enough genuine edge for those who demand some dramatic tension.

    George MacDonald Fraser's screenplay (full of clever, sharp dialogue) sticks much closer to the Dumas original than do other adaptations of The Three Musketeers, most of which transform the story into a standard good guys vs. bad guys plot with little more substance than the average B-Western (e.g., the more recent, one-step-above-awful Sutherland/Sheen/O'Donnell version). The Lester/Fraser version is essentially about four friends trying to survive and be true to each other (and, oh yes, to enjoy life along the way) while getting caught up in the neverending intrigues of the court of Louis XIII of France. The Musketeers are not conventional heroes, and with the partial exception of Milady, their opponents are not conventional villains.

    Besides superb direction and a great script, these films have a fantastic cast. All of the Musketeers come across as sharply drawn individuals. Michael York is a very suitably naïve, impetuous D'Artagnan. Richard Chamberlain makes a perfectly suave and sophisticated Aramis, the future priest, and his foil Porthos is brought to boastful but good-hearted life by Frank Finlay. Best of all is Oliver Reed's melancholy Athos, who gives the film some of the "edge" I spoke of above.

    Two other cast members give performances as good as anything they have ever done. Charlton Heston is a tremendous Cardinal Richelieu, subtle, intelligent, ever-scheming, but capable of taking a temporary setback with good grace. Raquel Welch may have given the finest performance of her career as D'Artagnan's lady-love, Constance, the queen's lovely but accident-prone dressmaker.

    Richelieu is ably served by Christopher Lee as a rugged, dangerous Rochefort and by Faye Dunaway as a ruthless Milady. The intelligent actor Jean-Pierre Cassel portrays the near-idiot Louis XIII very well, while Geraldine Chaplin succeeds in winning some of our sympathy for the selfish and spoiled Anne of Austria, his queen. Rounding out this impressive case are Roy Kinnear as Planchet, D'Artagnan's servant, Spike Milligan as Constance's husband, and Simon Ward as the Duke of Buckingham.

    One of the best things about this pair of films is the quality of the fight scenes. They combine a high level of excitement with a very realistic feel. One noteworthy touch is that each of the Musketeers shows an individual fighting style--e.g., D'Artagnan is a whirlwind of speed, while the older Athos fights more of a battle of attrition, wearing his opponent down. Another plus is that each fight scene has its own clear identity--they never seem repetitive.

    Like the fight scenes, the overall look of the film seems authentic. I am no expert on 17th century France to truly judge, but the sets and costumes give a great appearance of realism. Each film has a separate score, the first by Michel Legrand (with a bit borrowed from Giuseppe Verdi), the second by Lalo Schifrin. Both are quite effective.

    The DVD offers the choice of either the full-screen or wide-screen versions. Even on a modest sized 20-inch TV, I preferred the latter. The primary extra is a featurette titled "The Saga of the Musketeers." Appropriately, given that the originally intended one film was split into two features, the featurette is split into two parts, one on each disc. It is very good, with interviews with co-producer Ilya Salkind and several cast members-York, Welch, Finlay, Heston and Lee, as I recall. One nice element is a sort of "in memoriam" segment saluting cast members Oliver Reed, Roy Kinnear and Spike Milligan, all of whom died before the release of the DVD.

    For some 40 years, from classics like "The Prisoner of Zenda" and "The Sea Hawk" down through John Huston's "The Man Who Would Be King," Hollywood turned out great adventure films that had more to offer than just special effects and slam-bang action set-pieces. Although the Salkind Musketeers films were not Hollywood productions, they are worthy to stand among the very best films in that tradition.

    5.0 out of 5 stars All for one - the true classic Musketeers in a fantastic set
    Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2004

    Anchor Bay deserves a great deal of credit for this informative and entertaining double feature of the two classic Musketeer films from the early 1970s.

    Originally planned as one long epic movie (including a then standard intermission in the middle) the decision was made at some point during the production of THE THREE MUSKETEERS that they would either have one four hour movie or two separate movies. Rather than cut out some of the fantastic scenes that had been shot to make the movie more manageable the production company made the more sensible decision to cut the production in two releasing THE THREE MUSKETEER' one year and then THE FOUR MUSKETEERS shortly after.

    Not everyone involved in the production of the movie was happy about the decision. Actress Faye Dunaway publicly stated that (had she known about the splitting of the movie into two) she would have refused to do it since her role in the first was so small. The move led to some litigation and was eventually settled but today movie contracts include what is termed "The Salkind Clause" (named after the Salkind's who produced the MUSKETEER movies) to protect actors from such moves.

    It is perhaps for this reason that Faye Dunaway is one of the only still living members of the main cast who does not appear on camera for the excellent hour-long documentary THE SAGA OF THE MUSLETEERS that Anchor Bay has put together for this release.

    Perhaps a deliberate reflection of the movie (or perhaps simply due to limited space on the DVDs) the documentary is split into two half-hour parts on each disc. Recounting their memories of the production are actors Charlton Heston, Raquel Welch, Michael York, Frank Finlay and Christopher Lee who cover nearly every aspect of the production from their casting to some of the close calls and injuries the actors sustained performing their own stunts and swordflighting with real, very lethal swords.

    Lee, himself an expert swordsman, had to remind a rather over enthusiatic Oliver Reed (who abandoned the staged moves for a fight for some more improvised swings) that it was "only a movie."

    Also on camera for interviews are producers Ilya Salkind and Pierre Spengler (who would both go on to produce SUPERMAN) who discuss not only the actual production of the movies but also where the initial idea came from and the recruiting of Director Richard Lester. Salkind recounts how Lester initially turned down the invitation to direct the movie, referring to it as "a children's book" (as it was seen at the time). It was not until Salkind actually sent him a copy of the actual Alexandre Dumas novel that Lester became excited by the prospect of directing the adaptation.

    With a screenplay by George MacDonald Fraser (of the FLASHMAN novels and later of 1983's OCTOPUSSY) these two movies work remarkably well. Even though there are some surprising stylistic differences (surprising since it was originally meant as one movie). The first movie is definitely more comic in tone and the second darker and more dramatic. This is not to say the second movie is lacking in humor - just witness the Musketeers eating lunch as the prefer for battle with the Protestants.

    Of the two I actually prefer the second movie much more because I feel the characters are more drawn out and the intrigue more involving, The climatic sword fight and Oliver Reed-Faye Dunaway subplot are both highlights in my opinion. The second movie also features the shocking deaths of two of the more likeable major characters.

    Overall, a fantastic job by Anchor Bay. One can only hope that the third movie in the series, 1989's THE RETURN OF THE MUSKETEERS which was also directed by Richard Lester and included the majority of the original cast, will one day be released on DVD.

    Well recommended.

    The Three Musketeers is a delightful period piece taking place primarily in France in the 17 century. A young man, D'Artagnon joins 3 experienced musketeers in an adventure to save the queen of France's reputation. The movie is filled with well choreographed sword fights, intrigue, and lots of humor. It seems quite playful, even during most of the sword fights. There are many A-list actors including Charleton Heston who do a terrific job. The sets of the palaces in France are beautiful. The blu ray transfer is well done except for one odd problem--- the scenes shot outdoors are extremely bright--- so much so that I considered adjusting the brightness control on my TV when watching this blu ray. If it wasn't for that I would've given the blu ray 5 stars instead of 4. Despite the brightness issue I'm still happy I have this blu ray.

    The other blu ray, which is part of the set, is The Four Musketeers. It is a continuation of the story started in the Three Musketeers. It is a more somber story with several unexpected deaths and much less humor than in the first movie. There is also more character development and Faye Dunaway, as the evil agent "Milady", shines as she plots revenge against D'Artagnon and is a major part of this movie. I didn't notice the brightness issue I described above in The Three Musketeers and thought it was a very good blu ray transfer.

    Overall, I am very pleased with this blu ray set.

    These movies are just 2 of the three FIRST EVER movies of the real three musketeers movies ever made in the 1970's & 80's. You should watch them in order: the three musketeers, the four musketeers & the return of the musketeers. They star: michael York, oliver Reed (movie the gladiator with kurt russell), Richard chamberlain & Frank finlay. HIGHLY RECOMMEND BUYING AND WATCHING!!!

    5.0 out of 5 stars equally exciting and funny. The terrific cast performs even better than might ...
    Reviewed in Canada on May 13, 2018

    A costume adventure as comedy, a subgenre that was popular in the early 50s ("Crimson Pirate", "Prince Who Was A Thief" and others). This stewpot of intrigue, adventure, romance, swordplay and slapstick is perfectly blended into a delightful movie, equally exciting and funny. The terrific cast performs even better than might be expected. Except for the setting and costumes, no effort is made to play parts as French — it's all very British (indeed, some of the spoken humor is so English it may be missed outside the UK). Filmed as one movie, as true to Dumas as any other version, it's ceaselessly entertaining. The extras for the (US) Anchor Bay edition which I am reviewing include 50 minutes of illuminating interview excerpts with York, Heston, Welch, Finlay and Suskind.

    Was keen to rewatch these movies mainly because of the celebrity casts. They have become quite dated though and general quality as movies leaves a lot to be desired. Spike Milligan married to Raquel Welsh is still classic though.
