The Three Musketeers (1953 film)

The Three Musketeers French Les Trois Mousquetaires is a 1953 film based on the French novel of the same name. This adaptation is one of five films director Andr Hunebelle and screen writer Michel Audiard achieved together. Georges Marchal portrayed dArtagnan. In real life he was clearly older born in 1920 than this character, but Marchal happened to be one of the most famous actors of European cinema in these days. With hindsight this adaptation might be regarded as one of his lesser important appearances because later on he even starred for Luis Buuel.

The film was shot in the Studios de SaintMaurice, on the premises of castle Fontainebleau and in the Forest of Fontainebleau. In 1966 Andr Hunebelle returned to Fontainebleau for his film Fantmas contre Scotland Yard.Due to the films success Andr Hunebelle directed three more swashbuckler films Le Bossu, Captain Blood and Le Miracle des loups and hereby established Jean Marais as a fixture for this genre. ........
