Trivia:
The Duke of Buckingham's billiard room and the long hall behind it at his English estate is a leftover set from Patton (1970), it is also seen in The Four Musketeers (1974), where Milady and Buckingham speak about American Indians and also serves as a set of rooms in The Return of the Musketeers (1989) for a different character in France some 10 years after the action of the first two films. Also, the gown worn by Faye Dunaway during the Ball sequence at the end, is also the main gown worn by Jenny Agutter in The Man in the Iron Mask (1977) (TV). moreGoofs:
Revealing mistakes: Just before the fight with the cardinals' guards, Porthos picks up large rock to use as a weapon. As he examines the rock, you can see that it's artificial, because he exposes the mold line. moreQuotes:
Rochefort: I failed. One does occasionally.Cardinal Richelieu: If I blundered as you do, my head would fall.
Rochefort: I would say from a greater height than mine, Eminence.
Cardinal Richelieu: You would?
Rochefort: The height of vaulting ambition.
Cardinal Richelieu: You have none?
Rochefort: No.
Cardinal Richelieu: Do you fear me, Rochefort?
Rochefort: Yes, I fear you, Eminence. I also hate you.
Cardinal Richelieu: I love you, my son. Even when you fail.

The Three Musketeers has been filmed again and again. This is the best of breed. In fact, it tried to be so faithful to the book that they had to split it into two films. This is the first part. The second is titled The Four Musketeers. This required all kinds of negotiations with everyone involved because they had originally signed up to do one film.
The action is fast. Long rides on horseback. Lots of sword fights, but, instead of the old Hollywood fencing with crossed swords, this film makes sword fighting look like the brutal game it was where boldness and quickness often surpassed skill. The director included a strong mix of comedy in the action. This film maintains that comedic side. The second necessarily turns darker of necessity. A great cast, great photography. It's rollicking good fun to watch.
