All I remember about the film was it swashed, it buckled, and best of all Oliver Reed.
I remember Brian Blessed telling a story of beating the crap out of Oliver Reed. The story is hilarious. Oliver Reed was truly a horrible person in real life.
An old story .
A lousy human being, but a great actor.
He lifted the motto, “one for all, and all for one” from the scullery (kitchen workers)union building in Paris.
No, it was "think outside the bun"
Did anyone mention that the author of the "Three Musketeers", Alexander Dumas was a Black Frenchman, who also wrote "The Count of Monte Cristo", and "The Man In The Iron Mask?"
He was only a quarter black.
Man in the Iron Mask is about the three musketeers. Also Dumas’ father was the first black commander with certain battlefield offices (I can’t remember which ones) and met Napoleon. Dumas also ghostwrote for historical figures of Napoleon’s time
@wyattcole5452 Yes. Affirmative.
"WORLD'S GREAT MEN OF COLOR" Vol. I & 2 by J.A. Rogers, check 'em out.

Three and Four Musketeers 1973-74. Was the closet to the books. And was very entertaining. The book is fantastic.
Ther3 are 3 - 4 following novels
Start w 20 yrs after. the best one
Yes the Three musketeers is one of the finest books ever written. Whether it's true or not it's still a book
Uh, it's what's called an 'historical novel', meaning it's fiction...made up stuff...based on real people and historical events the author chose to hang his story on. Never meant to be "true" as a history of the time. Also, Dumas was writing about events and people two hundred years earlier, after the French revolution, so he had a social/political bias that he wanted to convey, as well as writing a damn fine swashbuckler. But it's just a story, folks.
It wasn’t intended to actually be a true story, it’s a historical fiction
@@wyattcole5452 Dumas drew upon history, setting the story about 100 years earlier, but obviously the characters and events are fictional. Just like Westerns or pirate movies. What happens is that over time readers come to think the story is history. Perhaps a commentary on our educational quality.
@@jackrice2770 I didn’t know swashbucklers or westerns were generally thought of as history. Maybe I’m the 50s and 60s the Bat Masterson and Wyatt Earp show might’ve been taken too seriously in that regard, but idk other instances I’ve heard of personally
@@wyattcole5452 Well, it's my impression that the fantasy of the "Old West" is better fixed in the popular psyche than the actual history. My point is perhaps better illustrated by the many pseudo historical videos and novels of today, similar to Dumas' popularity. A "book" is just a story, it might be a tall tale or it might be research based history, the readers have to be smart enough to tell the difference.
The mention of Dogtanian😍😍😍
Never saw it but it sounds cute!
Well researched. Also read The Black Count. Dumas' grandmother was a black slave. His dad was a general in the Revolution and head of cavalry during Napoleon invasion of egypt. His life reads life a several Dumas stories. Many if his father's experiences are reset in his books
Very interesting!
I read this book. Very good read. I'm listening to this guy's lies. I can see how easy people can be misled.
His mother was Haitian.
I always assumed that Alexander Dumas' father who was the real Count of Monte Cristo, that it was a given who the son was actually writing about.
His father was one of Napoleon’s top generals .. Same name as his son and his own father !
Athos, Porthos, Aramis, and Ringo.
there's a Paul in there somewhere.
Hadn't heard any of this, before. Very well done.
I absolutely loved the Richard Lester movie version's of the books.
Please do the Count on Monte Cristo, which along with Three Musketeers is one of my books!
It's pronounced Do-Ma. I also heard the Dumas based some of the things that D'Artagnan got up to, on his dad's adventures. Dumas' father was a high ranking general in the French army, and the son of a slave.
Apparently, Dumas was black.
@@patriciajrs46 Not apparently. His paternal grandmother was black, so Alexandre Dumas, and his father, Thomas Dumas, were biracial.
@@AScottishOdyssey Okay.
@@patriciajrs46That's debatable. I mean in terminology. He was one quarter from African descent. You could just as easily say he was white is saying he was black. I find it distressing that it still is considered that if you have one drop of black blood in you that you are black. We might as well start using the terms octoroon and mulatto again!
@@patriciajrs46He had a black grandmother, which makes him 1/4 black. Therefore he mostly wasn't, he was mixed race. We don't use the American system where if you have a single black great-great-great-grandparent then you're black. That makes no sense!
There also a few novels after including the iron mask and hard to find 20 years after.
I own 20 years after and I’m reading it now, it’s fantastic and better than the first imo
You do not pronounce the s in Dumas.
I want to thank you for the polite correction you gave on the pronunciation, unlike other snobs who derided the author for his pronunciation. English is my native language, but I grew up speaking better French than English, and I still was pronouncing Dumas with an S. I never put two and two together to realize it is like "pas". If someone who should know better can make the mistake, how much more someone who doesn’t speak the language. I wish more people were willing to give simple correction like you instead of mockery and derision.
@@b_korthuis My grandma on my mom side is French American. They came to America in the 1840s. They spell their surname Chalot, but it's prounced Sharlo. Pne group of cousins added an extra t so their's in pronounced Sharlot.
@@d.kyrstede3556 I know what you mean. My last name, Korthuis, is Dutch. It is pronounced kort- heus but it is tough for most English people to pronounce so we started to use the common mispronounced kor-theis. This, along with the actual spelling of "-uis" led people to think it was Greek and spell it "-ius". So my great uncle, when he moved to the United States, legally changed it "ius". So now we have the Canadian Korthuis family, the American Korthius family, and still no one outside of Holland pronounces it right.
@@b_korthuis My paternal ancestors came from Norfolk, England. I found at least 8 different spellings for the surname. The Kyrstede being the Middle English spelling going back to the late 1400s. My ancestor that came to America used the surnames Curstead, Cursted and Curstick when he lived in Norfolk, England, but when he moved to America He usedCurstead, Cursted, Custed , Custard and Curstard. For the Census he used Custard abd Custed as he was hiding from British Creditors. I have cousins that go by Curstead, Custead and Custard in America . The cousins in Canada go by Custead
AI often doesn't know how to pronounce things.
Other than a couple of cartoons, I've not seen any of the movies, but it is one of the greatest adventure novels I've ever read!
I've seen every modern English language film of The Three Musketeers including the Barbie cartoon, also some foreign versions. The Russians did a traditional swashbuckler that was quite entertaining.
It’s interesting to see that there is some basis in fact, at least for the characters
i spent the knight reading non stop the 4 musketeer after 20 year by Aleksander duma all 700 pages at age 13
in the !800s at the time of the civil war, The book was do widely read that the illustrations inspired the facial hair of on both sides of the conflict
OMG. This is my favorite book of all time (in it's original French). I am appalled by the flagrant mistake of that video. Aramis was never Anna of Austria's lover, he was the Duchesse de Chevreuse's liver. Dumas NEVER hinted that Aramus was king Louis's father, not even close! I don't know where those informations come from, but it's full of baloney! The closest to that plot was a movie where d'Artagnan was Anne's lover and Louis' father, but never in Dumas' books... please, please, please! That novel is so perfect as is and was so mistreated by almost every adaptation, be respectful and check your sources.
Hmmm.
That plot line (Aramis as father of Louis) appeared in the BBC TV series " The Musketeers. (2014)
@@johnminnitt8101 rwally? Never saw that one. Sad that they said it was from the novel, though...
Every "Hollywood" writer believes himself better than whoever created the source materiel. Thus, familiar stories are all torn apart. Beloved characters are turned into contradictory fools. Every time a familiar book is made into a film, I shudder to think what the fools will do next...
@robertwood6272 Yeah, true. But that one is particularly mistreated. Flying ships, to cry out loud! The worst thing is, Dumas already wrote that novel like a movie scenario! It's fast-paced, with action, romance, adventure, and heroism! Compared to what was written in France at the time (looking at you, Victor Hugo!), it was accessible and jump-packed with Hollywood goodies. Such a shame... I would love to see a very good adaptation of both The Three Musketeers and Twenty-Years Later. An adaptation of the Vicount of Bragelonne would also be great, although impossible to adapt in its entirety as a movie. Would make a great TV show, though...
Aged 95.. impressive
Nicolas Fouquet owned the lovely chateau of Vaux-le-Vicomte which was used as the basis for Versailles
9:38 - "Bonjour, I'm Laurent, this is my brother Louis, this is my other brother Louis."
The name Dumas is pronounced with a silent S! one need to check everything ...
Oliver Platt was the best Porthos ever. That movie, with Charlie Sheen, Chris O'Donnell, and Kiefer Sutherland isn't even mentioned in this video. I know it's a research documentary, but that movie was too awesome to omit. Also, Tim Curry was the best Richelieu ever.
YES!!!
Dumas(Dumah)
I read the book The Black Count. It talks about the father of the author of the Three Musketeers.
It is at least Five novels. I think i am in number 3 -- in Gutemberg. *20 years after* is much better than #1
Very historical to the detail
And all I thought The Three Musketeers was the name of a candy bar.
Bobbie, Annette, and Jay Jay.
France , England, n Spain
Aramis was also the name of a men's cologne..
They started the Three M company and make candy bars.
Execrable mispronunciation of Richelieu.
Yes... the same with Béarn...
Didn't know Milady was likely based on a real person!
2:12 «who rose through the religious ranks thanks to his charm»
Wait. What ? 😨
Charisma is a near superpower for some.
At the time (and maybe still today), religious offices were given to people with backing and influence. If you were charismatic, your chances to be pushed to higher offices were greater. Knowing the right person at the right time kind of thing.
At that time, you could become a Cardinal or even a bishop without even being in the clergy. Mazarin was never a priest.@@sandralachance1424
The book and the films give him a bad press. I read three biographies on him, and all agreed he was overplaying his bodily deficits with being of a sparkling intelligence and a rather charming and on top not that sinister cat-caresser but a ladie's man.
One biography claimed he was actually very nice to Queen Anne, preventing her of being divorced because of her first miscarriages and the Buckingham-affair, when charming Buckingham tried to persuade her to run off to Virginia with him, and L13 was about divorcing his wife, though she had jumped from de Vere's carriage, thinking it improper (and mainly fearing a beheading for high treason if caught running off with a lover).
In another biography there even was a film-ripe scene of Anne learning that her mother-in-law Maria and her brother-in-law Gaston were trying to get rid of her sickly husband, and not believing that Gaston would keep his word of marrying her (an always miscarrying and used up wife) after his brother was gone, she - rummaging a wardrobe allegedly coming over a feather Louis 13 had gifted her for their wedding or some other souvenier from her early marriage - believing it was a sign by god, decided to run - barefooted and only in her nightshirt beneath a servant's mantle - to Richelieu's place to denounce the plot. And that Richelieu afterwards was the mastermind behind the courtier's plot to get the completely estranged royal couple together again, resulting in the birth of L14 and Philippe.
"With numerous films based on the book" -- not only that, but I've seen films of the same name NOT based on the book.
The Three Musketeers is the most misleading title ever. It's the story of four swordsmen (who happen to use muskets on rare occasion).
Not really because D'Artanian did not become an actual musketeer until the end of the novel. So it was three musketeers plus a man's striving to be a musketeer.
They’re musketeers, that’s literally what they’re called, and the tittle doesn’t imply there’s only three musketeers, it’s already part of the D’artagnan romances and he doesn’t become a musketeer until more than half way through the book
Aramis was the best with shot with a musket if I remember correctly.
It is like edo period Japanese samurai. Their main weapon was still the bow or the spear or musket but for civilian life at times of peace they strutted around with the daisho ( long &short) the set of 2 swords.
They used muskets only in war on the battlefield.
Irish lumberjacks, tree fellas.
All is good but please, the S is silent in French and we should try to say his name the way it is supposed to sound
Moe, Larry & Curly 🤔
Yeah Richelieu wasn't a good guy according to Mr. Magoo!😮. 🤓😎✌🏻
No no no. The Three Musketeers are based on "the mighty men of King David. While he was on the battlefield. Word👍🏾
Ok it's time to get mad ..the four musketeers was based on the four caliph that were all companions ..strong Umar , brave Ali, truthful Abu bakr and shy uthman
Awful. You don’t even make a basic attempt to pronounce their names correctly. Saying the author’s name correctly is not a challenge for anyone.
please learn to names right before taping --
Oh man, it physically pains to have to hear the butchery of the names.
No, it's not Cardinal Risheloo. 😂
Black horses uh 😂😂😂
Ironically the Catholic church is often if not always portray as the sinister villain when in reality they're not. This is the reason why it is not easy to be a Catholic we're supposed to have both our cheeks slap and not retaliate if we retaliate we're bad.
Is it really asking too much to research the pronounciation of the most important names? I mean, at least the names of the people….
Athos killed in a duel!?? So much for his swordsmanship!
Alexander Dumas was black, most people don't realize this. Images like these aren't helping.
Your French pronunciation needs work.
I always thought that they were Spaniards for some reason. 😂😅
Comes from the Spanish. Tersios. When the Spanish was kicking the French butt up and down
Not in middle 17th century.
Would be improved by the narrator having any clue about how to pronounce French names.
The author was half black
Muskets were unwieldy also because of those stupid ruffled collars too🤷🏼♂️🤓😎✌🏻
Were musketeer trained be assassin? The musketeer were the greatest swimmers. And, did impersonators start a family called Musk?
No
Horrible pronounciation of french names
Clicked on this video with excitement. Immediately put off when you pronounce the title in French but not the authors name. If you do not take Dumas’ name seriously, then why should I trust anything else you might have to say? Adieu.
Nonsense point of view
Richeloo? Wtf! No! Nope! Can't keep watching. That was the worst butchering of the French language I've heard in a long while. How hard is it nowadays to get the pronunciation close enough? It's Riche-lee-uh!
I'm not even French, but that was painful to hear!
When reading it I hear “Rich-a-low” but the English pronunciation is aree-shuh-loo, the American is rish-uh-loo or rish-loo, and the French thus proper pronunciation is rich-shul-lyoo to me, with a slight accent at the end for lack of better ability to explain myself. Google actually says that pronunciation as “ri-shoe-lyoe” but it doesn’t sound like that when it does the audio
@@wyattcole5452It's a French name, the English pronunciation should be as close to the original as possible within the constraints of the English language. I will never understand what convolute twists and turns it took to, for ex, turn D'Artagnan into Dartanian! But, anyway, here's the correct pronunciation in both languages:
czcams.com/video/t-8fHqtoezw/video.html
@XofHope you may not know that the French "ieu" sound is not native to English and therefore not easily pronounced by those without a second language.
@@b_korthuis I'm very aware of it, which is why I mentioned an approximation, which is much closer to "uh" than "oo".
