DVD Reviews of The Three Musketeers
DVD Review: One of my favorite Gene Kelly Movies
Summary: 5 Stars
I love Gene Kelly! In recent years I sense that he hasn't gotten the due he has deserved. I might be the only one that feels this way, but it seems that our world today is steadily forgetting the great silver screen stars of our movie past that showed the rest of hollywood past and present what being a movie star was all about. Maybe that's just the way it is... maybe we can't do anything about it... But that doens't mean I have to like it!
Enough of that.. This is a great movie in it's own right. Based on the Alexandre Dumas classic the movie stays true to the book, and pushed me to find other movies based on classic works. The cast is great! June Allison is so sympathetic (to me at least), and the best supporting character in the movie has to be Vincent Price.
Gene Kelly the star of the film shows in comic chops, as well as his dramatic. I can't imagine any major film actor today being able to do what Gene did athletically in the film. Truely a film for the ages that every Kelly fan, silver screen fan, & Dumas fan should pick up.
DVD Review: Another Great Swashbuckler
Summary: 5 Stars
Another wonderful swashbuckler. Very entertaining. The color is wonderful. There is nothing like the old movies Terrific.DVD Review: Swashbuckling in the Rain
Summary: 2 Stars
MGM's strange version of the Alexandre Dumas classic remains the most miscast swashbuckler in movie history. Gene Kelly plays D'Artagnan as though he were in a musical, which isn't surprising since George Sidney directs "The Three Musketeers" as though it were "Anchors Aweigh." At least Kelly doesn't sing. This 1948 production finds plenty of actors stuck in the wrong genre: Lana Turner, Van Heflin, June Allyson, Vincent Price, Gig Young, Frank Morgan and Keenan Wynn! Only Angela Lansbury and Reginald Owen emerge unscathed. Sidney approaches the Dumas adventure with an uneasy, uncertain tone - not helped by the cheerfully garish Technicolor. Happily, the filmmaking stylist showed a remarkable resurgence in his 1952 remake of "Scaramouche."DVD Review: ANOTHER MGM SCHIZOID PRODUCTION
Summary: 3 Stars
Previous reviews have gone on at length about the plot, and made comparisons to other productions, so I'm just adding a few thoughts.
1) Yes, Gene Kelly is jaw-droppingly brilliant in his swashbuckling scenes. I don't think I've ever seen anyone top him, including Errol Flynn and Douglas Fairbanks, Sr. Unfortunately, he does have a tendency to smirk at the worst possible times, including June Bug's death scene.
2) As some others have suggested, Lana Turner and Angela Lansbury should
have traded parts, altho Lana's fake remorse scene, done with no make-up
and a modified fright wig, is better than I would have expected from The
Sweater Girl.
3) Did Miss Allyson have it in her contract that she would only wear costumes which included a Peter Pan collar? Her outfits are nearly as
funny as the Musketeers, almost all of which were in various shades of
pink, purple and puce. I've seen drag queens on Halloween who were less
flamboyant!
4) Was Robert Coote ever THAT YOUNG??
DVD Review: Why eat crackers when you can have croissant?
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm sorry, but technicolor alone doesn't make a good movie. This is a perfectly dreadful version of a classic, ham-handed and light-headed. Only Van Heflin keeps it going. Lana Turner, even when well cast, was an awful actress. Kelly can bound and fence, but his grief over June Allyson is barely serviceable. See the Michael York version instead...MUCH better! (Charlton Heston even makes a better Richelieu.)
