Movie Reviews of The Three Musketeers
Movie Review: The Three Musketeers that closely follow Dumas
Summary: 5 Stars
This version of The Three Musketeers is the one I believe is closest to the unabridged book of the same name by the French Alexandre Dumas (father); yes, there is death, sorrow and revenge at the end, almost as much as in "20 Years After" by the same author, the story of the older and spent D'Artagnan and the 3 other musketeers that takes place 20 years after the end of The Three Musketeers. The fact that the movie includes Gene Kelly as D'Artagnan lends it light-footed and artistic swordplay scenes that only a born dancer such as he can perform. There are scenes where gravity seems not to apply. Good ol'Gene! What an artist! The DVD is very good quality in term of sound and image, specially given its age (1948). A great classic, albeit sent to the backburner by splashier and "oscar-for-wardrobe" type of later versions. I recommend it entirely due to quality of film, sound, Gene Kelly and price.Movie Review: Fantasmagastic
Summary: 5 Stars
If you have never watched a Three Musketeer's movie, this one is for you! In this early adaptation of Alexander Dumas' book, the characters literally jump off the pages in the form of Gene Kelly, Vincint Price, Angela Landsbury and everyone else involved perfectly.
If you have always been a person to read a book and then be slightly to overly dissapointed during the film remake of that book. Then this movie will change your perspective on that as well. I have used this movie as my "Book" in book reports about four times. And each time the teacher was always amazed at how well I delved into the peoples actuall emotions. That's because I've seen the characters how they were meant to be.
This movie follows the book almost word for word. It's fantastic. I have yet to see another movie based on a book that is nearly as well done as this one.
Movie Review: Best MUSKETEERS of them all!
Summary: 5 Stars
Here is a story that has been told and re-told and re-told, but this Gene Kelly-Lana Turner version is, by far, the most fun, the most complete and certainly the most visually stunning. This is 3-strip Technicolor at its' most glorious. Kelly is a wonderfully energetic Dartagnan, and Lana Turner is a staggeringly beautiful Milady, and she plays her to perfection. The supporting cast could hardly be better: Angela Lansbury,
lovelier than we remembered, Frank Morgan, Van Heflin and June Allyson as
Constance
Don't miss this DVD. It is money well spent!
Movie Review: Kelly's Three Muskateers a Real Swashbuckler!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is NOT an MGM musical version of Dumas famous novel. Filled with sumptous photography and elaborate sword fighting this is a film that should have been on dvd years ago. Kelly is amazing! As agile as a monkey as he scales walls and swings a sabre along with Van Heflin, Gig Young and others. Lana Turner is gorgeous(and deadly) and Vincent Price just right as the cunning Richelieu. A treasure and great fun for the whole family. Of the many, my favorite version.Movie Review: On Dvd at last
Summary: 5 Stars
In my opinion this is the best of any of "the Three Musketeers" films made I have seen.I've had the video for years and at last this Lana Turner, Gene Kelly version is on Dvd.The presence of both Turner and Kelly make this special. Turner as a great villian and Kelly with his agility plus a great supporting cast make the film watchable many times over when your in the mood for this sort of adventure.
