Storyline

- TriviaOliver Reed was severely injured and almost died when he was stabbed in the throat during the windmill duel scene.
- GoofsRichelieu refers to Buckingham as the Prime Minister of England. However, the title was not adopted until the early 1700s, and even then was an unofficial name for the First Lord of the Treasury. It was not until 1937 that it was enshrined in law as the title of the Head of Government. Although Buckingham was undoubtedly one of the most powerful members of the English Court, he had no formal position as such, as there was no equivalent of a Prime Minister: the King himself was regarded as the Head of Government as well as Head of State.

Cardinal Richelieu: Who is the man that accuses you?
Bonacieux: [Rochefort enters and Bonacieux points at him] That! That is the man!
Count Rochefort: Take him away.
Bonacieux: That is *not* the man!

Featured review
Could give Errol Flynn a run for his money!
Let me begin by expressing how refreshing it feels to watch a series of action scenes without wretched shaky cam! After seeing Guardians of the Galaxy and the new Ninja Turtles movies at the cinema recently, I had almost forgotten what it was like to have a comprehensible fight sequence.
This 1973 version of The Three Musketeers is the best version of the story I have ever seen, even better than the over-praised Gene Kelly adaptation. It's athletic, earthy, and light-hearted, paired with one of the most perfect casts ever brought together for a movie and Michel Legrand's amazing score which proves adventurous and heart-achingly romantic in equal turns.
If you love action and comedy, then I cannot recommend this enough. I never wanted it to end and cannot wait to watch the sequel.
