Film Preview the Three Musketeers

The Three Musketeers has been filmed so often by so many directors since Edison's 1911 version of the Dumas classic that it all but constitutes a genre in itself. Richard Lester's version is pure tongue in cheek spoof, with jokes on every level and the characters comically larger than life. Lester has the romantic Constance (Raquel Welch) fall down stairs, walk into walls, even catch her foot in a pail of water while being embraced by D'Artagnan (Michael York).

Oliver Reed and Chuck Heston join in the frolics.
