The second best Musketeers film?

Or would it be the third? That would depend on whether you count the terrific seventies "Three/Four Musketeers" as one film or two.

Anyway! TNitIM is a darn good movie, better than any of the other films made about the Musketeers over the years. And infinitely better than any if the more recent attempts.

It's funny. This is a great movie but I don't actually enjoy it that much. Doesn't have the fun factor like the Disney version.

I would have to agree. Have you seen The Fifth Musketeer? A late 70's/early80's adaption. Cheesy fun with great cast.

I liken this film to The Avenging Quartet - great cast but not entertaining enough.

1. The Three Musketeers (1973)
2. The Three Musketeers (1948)
3. ???

I respectfully disagree with your #2 rank, I've never been impressed with the 1948 version. Hell, I don't think I've ever been impressed with any Lana Turner movie, ever.
