The Three Musketeers (1961 film)
The Three Musketeers is a 1961 film adaptation of the 1844 novel by Alexandre Dumas, père which consists of two parts.[3] The script keeps close to the classic French novel. The director treats all the classic characters with respect, not making fun of any of them, although there is humour when d'Artagnan rides his peculiar horse and when Planchet supplies wine for the heroes.
