Gene Kelly stars as the swashbuckling young French nobleman D'Artagnan who, possessing nothing more than his title, travels to Paris to join The Three Musketeers. D'Artagnan no sooner arrives in the capital, than he insults Athos (Van Heflin), Porthos (Academy Award winner Gig Young) and Aramis (Robert Coote), the most feared of the musketeers. Challenged to a duel by each, D'Artagnan earns their respect with his courage, if not by his fighting prowess. But his courage, skill and wit are quickly needed to help the musketeers thwart a plot by the powerful Prime Minister Richelieu (Vincent Price) to overthrow King Louis XIII (Frank Morgan), save Queen Anne (Angela Lansbury) and win the heart of Lady de Winter (Lana Turner). This all-star frolic was a box-office hit as M-G-M and director George Sidney pulled out the stops to bring together its finest talents, and now it's been restored and remastered for its Blu-ray debut.

Would have been a great Christmas title, but very welcome. The glorious Technicolor is especially gorgeous.

One one title for February?

That kind of confirms that WAC is having issues getting back to full steam ahead.

In the past, they used to announce titles one at time on FB, so it's possible this isn't the only one coming.

Well it's early days, I didn't expect to hear anything about February 'till next month, I'm sure they'll be a title or two to join it.

Anyway, I'll have The Three Musketeers, I love it that the swashbucklers have started to come through, it shouldn't be too long before we get Scaramouche (1952).

EDIT. I see it's joined by Gold Diggers Of 1933 & Edge Of Darkness

Never seen it, how's this one? I love the Fairbanks silent movies (Three musketeers and Iron mask) but, outside of the mediocre Disney version, I don't think i've ever seen any other 3 musketeers adaptations. I read the book a million years ago, mind you.

Amazon has pre-listings for Gold Diggers Of 1933 and Edge Of Darkness with Feb 8 dates

Awesome!

Leviathan · 12-23-2021, 10:20 PM

Well, that'll teach me not to speak too soon.

One more than the previous two months, so they are slowly getting back into the groove of things.

Dragon78 · 12-24-2021, 03:09 AM

I will be getting this one.

javi92 · 12-24-2021, 11:35 AM

Lana Turner in Technicolor. Woohoo!

Ned Brainard · 12-24-2021, 06:25 PM

Singin' in the Rain fans may experience some deja vu with The Three Musketeers as some segments from the latter were used to create some of the silent film recreations in the formers. I'm definitely looking forward to this film as the Technicolor should look spectacular.

Without checking, is that the one Richard Chamberlin stars in, I think from about 1973? I believed was quite well thought of

I picked this up a year or so back. Just FYI: No subtitles.

Deciazulado · 01-27-2022, 12:18 AM

You mean no English subtitles or no subtitles at all?
