Trivia

The press kit states: "Written in 1844, "The Three Musketeers" was Alexandre Dumas père' most successful novel. It was followed in 1845 by the sequel, "The Man In The Iron Mask". The press kit for The Fifth Musketeer (1979) added: "Without doubt, if he were alive today, Dumas would be pleased with the attention that was paid to both the dramatic portrayal and regal ambience created for "The 5th Musketeer"."

sexed-up version, cut in US
4 January 2006 | by (Canterbury, England) – See all my reviews

In many ways, this is an unnecessary re-telling of a story we have seen realized many times before (and since), and often filmed better. It was certainly not Beau Bridges's finest hour.

What was unusual and certainly the major selling point of the film was that the leading ladies (Andress and Kristel) would shed their clothes on quite a few occasions. As this film's US rating is PG and as the American running time is 12 minutes shorter than the British 15-rated release (which is the one I saw) it is highly likely that most if not all nudity was cut from the American version. Which is a shame as this is the only proper reason to watch this film.
