"THE MAN IN THE IRON MASK" (1977) Review

I have seen my share of movie and television productions that are based on novels and plays by Alexandre Dumas père and his son Alexandre Dumas fils And for some reason, I never get tired of watching them - over and over again. And one of them is the 1977 television movie, "THE MAN IN THE IRON MASK". ( Collapse )

Below are images from "THE MAN IN THE IRON MASK", the 1977 television adaptation of Alexandre Dumas père's 1847-1850 serialized novel, "The Vicomte of Bragelonne: Ten Years Later". Directed by Mike Newell, the movie starred Richard Chamberlain: ( Collapse )

"CAMILLE" (1936) Review

I am about to confess to something many might regard as sacrilegious. I have never regarded Greta Garbo as one of my favorite actresses from the Golden Age of Hollywood. I had nothing against her . . . personally. But I realized that I could barely recall any of her movies that were personal favorites of mine. Because of this, I was very reluctant to do a re-watch of one of Garbo's most famous films, "CAMILLE". ( Collapse )

Below is a gallery of images from "CAMILLE", the 1936 adaptation of Alexandre Dumas fils' 1848 novel, "La Dame aux Camélias". Directed by George Cukor, the movie starred Greta Garbo and Robert Taylor: ( Collapse )

"THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO" (1975) Review

There have been numerous adaptations of Alexandre Dumas père's 1844 novel, "The Count of Monte Cristo". I have seen at least three adaptations - two theatrical releases and a television movie. I had just recently viewed the latter, which aired on British television back in 1975, on DVD. ( Collapse )

"THE THREE MUSKETEERS" (1993) Review

Alexandre Dumas' classic 1844 novel, "The Three Musketeers" must have been one of the most adapted stories in film and television history. I do not know exactly how many adaptations have been filmed. But I have seen at least four of them - including Disney Studios' version, released in 1993. ( Collapse )

Below are images from "THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO", the 1975 television adaptation of Alexander Dumas père's 1845 novel. Directed by David Greene, the movie starred Richard Chamberlain: ( Collapse )
