Introduced my 12 year old to the best movie ever (well my favorite anyway) – the 3 musketeers. And of course it was the 70s version – not the ridiculous ones they have done in the last 20 years |

Unbeatable cast and sword fight choreography. |

My favourite movies of all time! There is a third movie with the same cast; "The return of the Three/Four (can't remember off hand) Musketeers" which is also a great romp! Unfortunately it was the movie in which Roy Kinnear died in a horse riding accident, most tragic. The movie does suffer a little from the obvious scenes where they use a stand-in for poor old Roy, but still a great watch. @TNE2300. Thanks for the link to Crossed Swords, I had forgotten about that movie; have to track down a copy! Mike |

Just checked (and bought a copy of "Crossed Swords"), Return of…. is only available on VHS. Mike |

Hear, hear. I concur. Do also try Gerard Depardieu's Cyrano de Bergerac (1990). A magnificent period film and you don't have to understand French to enjoy the visual feast. D'Ewell |

There is also The Fifth Musketeer from 1979. Not quite as good but not too bad at all. YouTube link |

…you don't have to understand French… Does anyone understand the French?  |

I got a boxed set from Amazon France a few years ago that had all 3 films, The 3 Musketeers, The 4 Musketeers and the Return of the Musketeers. So the final film is out there on DVD… |

Has one of my favorite of all time lines… "One should be careful what one writes…

Electric Wave:
A philosophy well worth remembering when sending email. Here's qanother geat quote:
MNSR. BONANCIEUX: I swear I've done nothing! Nothing! What will they do to me?
GUARD: Everything! You're in the Bastille, you must have done something. And this one:
M. Bonancieux: The Bastille! Well, I tell you, I don't want to go to the Bastille! Because it's got very deep dungeons and terrible instruments of torture operated by very unsympathetic men! And they snip very important parts off people! |
