The Three Musketeers Reviews

---

Fairbanks at his best!
Silent movie fans will be delighted with this swashbuckling tale starring the one and only Douglas Fairbanks! Set in France of long ago, this film uses elaborate costumes, wonderful sets and a hoard of extras. Fairbanks IS Dartanion as he sword fights his way into the Musketeers with bavery, arrogance and that wonderful touch of humor that seems to sparkle through his films. Spectacular stunts (done by the man himself), a wild chase scene and a supporting cast including Eugene Paulette (before he became rotund) and Adolph Menjou make this a silent screen classic everyone will enjoy! Watch out for the "odious Cardinal!"

Back to basics
Sometimes the simplest things are the best !
I can recommand also the french silent movie version from henri diamant-berger(in 1921 too) that was a huge budget for this time and was lost forever before being found by chance in a private home.

No matter how thrilling and entertaining all the movie adaptations of dumas stories are, the book is still the best

That old movie is very close to the book which is a great thing

to get it, go to the french amazon (www.amazon.fr) and type les trois mousquetaires choose the one from diamant-berger
