The Three Musketeers

The Three Musketeers (1974) starring Oliver Reed, Raquel Welch, Richard Chamberlain, Michael York, Charlton Heston, Faye Dunaway, Christopher Lee. Part swashbuckling and part slapstick, this movie is a fresh take on the musketeers' legend. Curiously enough, they always use swords, never muskets. The plot is of little significance, but suffice it to say that there are lots of sword fights, lots of romance and lots of intrigue. A fun film. (Subtitles are not offered, but closed captions save the day.) Grade: A-
