Like what the priest said of the mute: My God this is dumb. At least the original story is recognizable and at least it made me want to rewatch the 2023 French version.

Amusing adaptation of the novel by Alexandre Dumas.

The classic coercion of the story with good humour, good action and good actors. Just fun.

Saw it as a kid with my family at the movies. Got a rare standing ovation. It’s that good.

Still the best filmed version by a long way.
