Richard Lester's 1975 sequel to his romping <I>Three Musketeers</I>--released the year before--reunites his swashbuckling cast for a decidedly less happy and more somber experience. This time, D'Artagnan (Michael York) and his Musketeer mentors (Richard Chamberlain, Oliver Reed, Frank Finlay) have a tougher fight against their old enemies, and the adventure is not without its casualties. But the film is highly entertaining, filled with that same loony air that makes most films by Lester (<I>How I Won the War</I>, <I>A Hard Day's Night</I>, <I>Help!</I>) so much fun. The actors are with him every step of the way: Reed, Chamberlain, Finlay, and York are a heroic version of the Marx brothers, Raquel Welch was never better, and Charlton Heston clearly enjoys playing the evil Cardinal Richelieu. <I>--Tom Keogh</I>
Viewer Reviews
This is probably the 2 best versions of the movie versions of the 3 Musketeers. Michael York, Richard Chamberlain, Frank Finlay and Oliver Reed are amazing as the Musketeers. The story centers on young D'artagnon played by York who travels to Paris to become a Musketeer but ends up in one misadventure after another. Charlton Heston plays Cardinal Richelieu, the most powerful man in France that is trying to replace the King as absolute ruler by scheming and plotting against him and the Queen. Christopher Lee stars as Rochforte and Faye Dunaway as Milady Dewinter play the Cardinal's henchmen and assassins to humorous delight. The 3 Musketeers centers on the Queen's secret love affair with the Duke of Ellinton with the Musketeers trying to foil the Cardinal's plans to ruin the Queen's reputation. The 4 Musketeers deals with the revenge of Milady who is trying to kill D'artagnon and his mistress Constance played by the gorgeous Raquel Welch. If you're a fan of adventure with alot of comedy then you'll love these 2 movies from the novel of Alexander Dumas. Enjoy!
