The Return of the Musketeers (1989)

£0.00


Country: GB/FR/SP
Technical: col 101m
Director: Richard Lester
Cast: Michael York, Oliver Reed, Frank Finlay, C. Thomas Howell, Kim Cattrall

Synopsis:

In 1649, with Louis XIV now on the throne of France, the famed musketeers are sought out of retirement once more in aid of the King, whereupon they meet some former enemies.

Review:

For anyone who enjoyed the earlier films this is both a welcome reunion of talent and a bitter reminder of how fragile cinema magic can be, from the blatant Spanish locations and tragedy-stricken shoot to the mass dubbing and incoherent mutterings during moments of slapstick buffoonery. At least the plot is taken from an authentic Dumas original and Justine DeWinter is a formidable adversary, despatched with unseemly ambiguity for such a 'chance your arm' venture.
