Welch, Spike Milligan, Roy Kinnear
Rating: 9 out of 10, This
is the second half of the 3 Musketeers which was released as a sequel once they
realized how much footage they had on their hands. This one is even better than the first albeit
a little darker. The boys are running
around France trying to thwart Charlton Heston’s evil plans along with laying
siege to some rebels. Just where did the
Cardinal come up with all these henchman?
Even with all the hijinks the back story of Milady and Athos is heartbreaking
when it reaches the climatic scenes. Together
with the first half of the film, easily the best version of the classic Dumas
book ever brought to the screen.
MVP: Raquel Welch as the clumsily tragic Constance
Bonacieux
