VHS Movie Reviews of Literary Masterpieces: The Count of Monte Cristo
Movie Review: superb, dramatic production with first-rate cast
Summary: 5 Stars
I fully agree with the enthusiastic review submitted by the reader from Dallas (medianew@gte.net), but I'd like to point out that actor Richard Chamberlain is NOT English -- he's American. (He first became known to U.S. audiences in the TV show "Doctor Kildaire.") That said, Chamberlain established himself as a fine film actor in several movie adaptations of Alexandre Dumas novels -- he appears in "The Three Musketeers" and "The Four Musketeers" (playing the role of Aramis), and "The Man In The Iron Mask" as well as "The Count of Monte Cristo." In all of these films, he seems tailor-made for the adventurous, romantic leading-man parts that the stories revolve around. (And in "The Three Musketeers," he also displays a fine comedic instinct.) "The Count of Monte Cristo," like others in the Dumas series, is ideally cast -- and most enjoyable and engrossing, whether you're already familiar with these tales or are encountering them for the first time. Strongly recommended.
