The Three Musketeers (1973) IMDb from
the classic Alexandre Dumas novel sports an all-star cast befitting a
sprawling swashbuckler that spans over two feature-length films.
Included in the line-up are Michael York, Richard Chamberlain, Oliver
Reed and Frank Finlay. Also on display with an abundance of frillyness
and 
silliness
are Raquel Welch, Faye Dunnaway, Geraldine Chaplin, Christopher Lee and
Charlton Heston. Saddled with a plot that doesn't matter and awkward
costumes that do (there's something to do with the Queen's honour - or
was it a love affair entangled with a diamond necklace and a conniving
cardinal?) the actors work hard to offer us un grand spectacle, as Michael York reminds us in his TVO interview. If 
you're into frills and spills and not too much mental work, this may be the very film for your viewing pleasure.
