Movie synopsis
Richard Lester's rendition of Alexandre Dumas' classic swashbuckling adventure is a tongue-in-cheek comedy that thumbs its nose at its more serious predecessors. Having divided the story into two separate films, Lester manages to capture some of the more intricate details of book. This two DVD set contains both films: THE THREE MUSKETEERS (1974) and THE FOUR MUSKETEERS (1975).The adventure begins with the arrival of D'Artagnan in Paris and his efforts to become a King's Musketeer, just like his father before him. In Paris he encounters three men who quickly become his friends and allies. Together they get entangled in court intrigues, and take up arms against the plotting, conniving Cardinal Richelieu. In the course of duty, they travel to England, where they try to preempt a scandal involving some diamond studs, the Duke of Buckingham and the reputation of the Queen of France.

THE Complete Musketeers
Created: 09/01/07
) A brilliant rendition of a great story. Filmed at the same time, but released a year apart (just like Lord of the Rings)this two film set is a must have for any serious collector of great re-watcheable films. The action is athletic, but realistic, and at times entertainingly comedic. I do not think this is as 'tongue in cheek' as is made out, on rereading the book for the fourth or fifth time I find it humerous, satirical, and that it doesn't take itself too seriously. The film does accentuate the lighter side, but suitably portrays the darker sides just as well. An all round rollicking good yarn!

) I consider this tongue-in-cheek version of Dumas's "Three Musketeers" to be by far the best that is out there. While most of the actors are unknown by today's younger audience members, their performances shine through even so.
In a strange way even the sword fighting seems to come right off the pages of Dumas' book. The fighter's get tired, make mistakes, kick and punch at each other in a way that makes something that is very serious still have its amusing moments.
The cast is superb;
Charlton Heston as the Cardinal Richelieu
Michael York as D'Artagnan
Oliver Reed as Athos
Richard Chamberlain as Aramis
Raquel Welch as Constance
Faye Dunaway as Milady.

2 Great Movies!!!
Created: 07/04/09
) Originally filmed to be one movie it was broken up to be 2 parts because of the extensive footage involved. A great cast & story line that is sure to be watched over & over!!! This movie was mixed with lots of stunts & filled with so much swashbuckling scenes. It makes the Disney's version look like small potatoes!!! I only wish someone would re master the "Musketeers Return" as there was a 3rd movie. No doubt these movies are the coolest versions made! Michael York, Oliver Reed, & Christopher Lee as you've never seen them before. accompanied with the talents of Charleston Heston's experienced acting & Raquel Welch's sexy & comedic gestures.
Well acted and follows the book fairly closely
Created: 24/03/10
I purchased this version because I was reading about Christopher Lee, and there was a link to this film. Until I read the history on this film, I did not know that these 2 movies were actually filmed as one, and were split because of the length. Reviews said it was fairly close to the book, which most modern version are not, which was what I was looking for.
A well produced and well acted version, which has almost all the main story elements from the book. The audio mix is horrible. It's mono, and the music track is a bit overpowering. The dialog is difficult to hear. Video quality is very good, though. If you have not read the book(s), you will have no idea what is going on. All the main plot pieces are there, but no threads to connect them together. If you are not a big fan of the Musketeers, this will put you to sleep. Overall, I enjoyed it.
