Everything about The Three Musketeers 1973 Film totally explained
The Three Musketeers is a
1973 film based on the
novel by
Alexandre Dumas, père. Directed by
Richard Lester and written by
George MacDonald Fraser (famous for his
Flashman series of historical comic novels). The film was originally intended to run for three hours, but later the film was split in two (resulting in
1974's
The Four Musketeers). The actors themselves were not informed that they were working on two films simultaneously, only Charlton Heston — handsomely paid for his handful of scenes — didn't feel cheated by this duplicity. In
1989, the cast and crew returned to film
The Return of the Musketeers, loosely based on Dumas'
Twenty Years After.
The film adheres strongly to the novel, but it also injects a fair amount of humour. The films were shot by David Watkins, with an eye for period detail. The fight scenes were choreographed by master swordsman William Hobbs and turn the swashbuckling movies of the Forties and Fifties on their collective ear; these are more like brawls, with the combatants using knees, fists, furniture and even wet laundry as often as they do their swords.
