La dame de Monsoreau (1971)
I can't understand why it did not become such a great hit!
This is really great movie, or actually I saw it as a mini TV-series in Russia in the eighties. And I saw it only once, though I still can't forget it. It made a great impression. I was also really surprised to see it was filmed in 1971, you wouldn't say if you see it! Actors are great. Not only the leading man and leading lady, but all of them. Director made a great job! And I could never forget Michel Creton as Chicot - a witty and funny joker of the king. So proud, so clever, so noble and so tragic. They read the novel of Dumas really good and filmed it with respect and it was just great! I still hope to find it somewhere on VHS or DVD. Incredible that it is not known at all and all forgotten about!
D'Artanyan i tri mushketyora (1979)
Real classic movie - surely worth to see!
It's a great movie. And of course it's a bit old-fashioned for nowadays. But I really, really love it. And I haven't seen better Three Musketeers movie up till now. Though I've seen a lot. Music, songs, lyrics, actors, director - everything is just fitting greatly together to make it a really classic movie which will be still loved after so many years. And the songs they still sing and everybody, literally everybody in Russia knows the songs and even the quotes by heart. It is sometimes funny and sometimes really romantic and sometimes a bit naive film. And its surely worthwhile to watch! Boyarski (D'Artagnian) still lives in St. Petersburg and still terribly popular, especially for his role in this movie. I've seen him lately walking on the bank of Moika river - in black long coat and a black huge hat... and still with his mustache...
