Watch The Three Musketeers For Free

Very disappointing...

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Gene Kelly (D'Artagnan) sets out on his journey to become a musketeer and encounters the 3 musketeers - Van Heflin (Athos), Gig Young (Porthos) and Robert Coote (Aramis). They become friends and so begins the adventure to recover some stolen jewels. Vincent Price (Richelieu) and his soldiers and Lana Turner (Lady de Winter) are the evils to avoid.The cast are all good in this version although there was no need to make Keenan Wynn (Planchet) a comedy, dumb-ass servant and friend to Kelly. We already get comedy with the interplay between the musketeers and Gene Kelly's over-acting. My favourites in the cast are Turner and Heflin. Turner oozes badness and her costumes are colourful and memorable. In fact, all costumes are great. The film is a little long so the whole plot may get forgotten if you drift off a couple of times, but just go with it and the film makes sense somehow. One thing I don't understand is why Dumas called the film what he did. I haven't read the book - I don't need to now that I've seen the film - but the title suggests a book with the lives of the three musketeers at the centre. The story centres around D'Artagnon who becomes a musketeer in the end so why not just call it "The Four Musketeers"? It's a much more relevant title. Just a tip for Dumas if he is reading this.

M-G-M presents Dumas' exciting story of love and adventure ,¨The three musketeers¨ . For the first time is adapted in the greatest Hollywood splendor , the complete romance , the historical characters, the full novel just as Alexandre Dumas write it . It is packed with comedy , derring-do , intrigue, a love story , action , drama and moving swordplay . An awesome casting and lavish production shot in Metro Goldwyn Studios make for a fairly amusement swashbuckler . This is the classic version of the Dumas's novel with a handsome Gene Kelly in a brave role as a young and handsome soldier of fortune , a dashing , audacious lover . This is a slight and high budgeted retelling about the durable Alexandre Dumas's novel with all-star-cast . This delightful adaptation based on Alexandro Dumas classic novel starts with the youngster D'Artagnan who arrives in Paris to find Mister Treville(Reginald Owen) , chief of Musketeers . But he meets three two-fisted Musketeers , Athos (Van Heflin) , a rollicking adventurer , fighting to live and living to love , Porthos (Gig Young) and Aramis (Robert Coote) . DÁrtagnan to be aware they are Musketeers and is invited to unite them in their objective to struggle against guards of Cardinal Richelieu , his deputy Rochefort (Ian Hunter) , and an astute secret agent named Milady De Winter (Lana Turner) who is lovely as a jewel , deadly as a dagger the wickedest woman in all Christendom . Meanwhile , D'Artagnan falls in love with a gorgeous young named Constance (June Allyson), daughter an innkeeper , she is a golden-haired beauty entangled in a web of treachery and intrigue . Furthermore , there is developed an intrigue between Luis XIII (Frank Morgan ) , Queen Anna of Austria (Angela Lansbury) , dazzling as her gilded palace for her , men dared a thousand perils , and Duke of Buckingham (John Sutton) ; and , of course ,the nasty Richelieu (Vincent Price) . The musketeers join forces for royal vengeance with the shout : ¨One for all and all for one¨.It's a magnificent rendition from the immortal novel in big budget and breathtaking scenarios . The picture contains rousing action , intrigue , romantic adventure , mayhem and a lot of fencing . Entertaining swashbuckling with lavish production by Pandro S. Berman , glamorous gowns and luxurious sets by Oscar winning Cedric Gibbons . Sympathetic performances by main star cast and enjoyable secondary cast ; as the marvelous main actors are completed by stellar support cast full of classical and veteran players as Vicent Price , Reginald Owen , Keenan Wynn , Frank Morgan and several others . Colorful cinematography in the splendor of Technicolor by Robert Planck . Evocative musical score by Herbert Stothart based on Tchaikowski themes . Lush production design is well reflected on the luxurious interiors and exteriors filmed at Hollywood . The motion picture was well realized by George Sidney (Scaramouche , that he subsequently made in similar style). This classy story is subsequently remade on several versions , firstly take on this classic turns out to be the following : 1921 silent version by Fred Niblo with Douglas Fairbanks . And going on 1935 adaptation by Rowland V. Lee with Walter Abel and Paul Lukas ; 1973 amusing version by Richard Lester with Michael York , Oliver Reed and Raquel Welch ; 1993 modern adaptation by Stephen Herek with Charlie Sheen , Kiefer Sutherland , Oliver Platt and Chris O'Donnell , and 2001 rendition by Peter Hyams with Justin Chambers , Mena Suvari and Tim Roth , among others. ¨The three Musketeers¨ is an outstanding and entertaining adaptation of the classy that will appeal to the costumer genre buffs and it results to be an excellent adaptation with big budget based on the classic tale .

just for the record... one of those quotes is wrong...on the "quotes" section of the listing, there is a particular one which I remember well, and double-checked with the movie, just to be sure. it is listed as: Constance Bonacieux: Whatever my reputation or my D'Artagnan's, I don't take love lightly.not only is the quote slightly in error, but the character is wrong. this statement was made by Countess de Winter when D'Artagnan comes to visit her after she's received the "letter from the Count de Ward", and it runs thus: Countess de Winter: Whatever my reputation, my D'Artagnan, I don't take love lightly.just thought any fans or the staff would like to know this

I love a swashbuckling adventure, now and then. And also I as said many times, I love a literary film too. Especially if the film is based on a book that I have like The Three Musketeers and I had read the abridged version. There had been many film adaptations based on the classic novel by Alexandre Dumas, and like I said before, I am not one take sides on which is better. So I would say I love this film starring Gene Kelly as the hero D'Artagnan and a young Vincent Price (in his 30s) as Richelieu. The impressive supporting cast features a young Angela Lansbury as Queen Anne, June Allyson as Constance D'Artagnan's love interest, and Lana Turner at the height of her achingly alluring beauty as the evil Lady de Winter...De Winter's like a Black Widow. And I also love the 1993 film version with Chris O'Donnell,Kiefer Sutherland and Tim Curry.A scene I love in the film, is when D'Artagnan was peeking in on Constance, it was funny. When I had read the book, I had found a few things quite different from the film. In the book, Constance is the landlord's wife not God-daughter...O.M.G! another man's wife! hmmm...I kind of like God-daughter better. Also in the book, Constance didn't go to England to be safe from Richelieu, but in a convent. And one more thing: Milady didn't stab Constance, she poisoned her.
