Was that awesome or what?
I mean, you cannot cast a better movie than Christopher Lee as Rochefort, Richard Chamberlain as Aramis, Heston as the Cardinal, and my all time fave Oliver Reed as Athos.
Both “3 Musketeers” and “4 Musketeers” were superb. I do like the Disney version as well, though, with Charlie Sheen, Keifer Sutherland, Chris O’Donnell, Oliver Platt, and Tim Curry. (BTW, did you know Curry suffered a stroke in 2012 and is in a wheelchair? Sad. Great talent).
On, and another BTW, if you’re as big a Reed fan as I am, there is one movie you have to see once. (It’s so gross and disturbing it’s hard to watch a second time: “The Devils” with OR).
“The Devils”, you mean the Ken Russel movie based on the Book, “ The Devils Of Loudun”?
Saw that on the Upper West Side where it played for only a day or two before it vanished...wasn’t shown anywhere else in NYC. Never found anyone else who had seen it in NYC at the time. Pretty over the top even for Ken Russel. Had read Huxley’s some years before the movie.
