The picture contains rousing action , plenty of crashing , intrigue , romantic adventure , romance , treachery mayhem and a lot of fence . Amusing swashbuckling with lavish production , glamorous gowns and luxurious sets . Furthermore , a vein of humour is evident here , though sometimes falling flat . For this movie itself , though , energetic and frantic are the best adjectives you could think of to describe its attraction . Charming Douglas Fairbanks steals the show when he bounds and leaps , hits and run ; in addition he is the screenwriter of this rollicking adventure . Fairbanks executes athletic feats , moving sword-play and spectacular acrobatics similarly he demonstrated in other classics such as The Mark of Zorro (1920), Robin Hood (1922), Three musketeers , Don Q Son of Zorro , The gaucho , The Taming of the Shrew , among others . Douglas performed most of the stunts in his films himself . He was an excellent athlete and used his physical abilities to his best advantage . Adequate cinematography in black and white stunningly showed on the splendorous images . Glamorous production design is well reflected on the luxurious interiors and exteriors stunningly filmed . The motion picture was professionally realized by Fred Niblo (Ben Hur). This cool filmmaker provided visual style , comedy , fencing , drama , clangorous action in equal proportions . It's followed by a second part : ¨The iron mask¨ (1929) by Allan Dwan and again with Douglas Fairbanks , Margueritte De La Motta and Nigel De Brulier who plays Cardinal Richelieu,he would also play the role in the 1935 film of the same name ; in addition, the 1939 film "The Man in the Iron Mask." This classy story is subsequently remade on several versions , firstly take on about this classic is the following : 1935 adaptation by Rowland V.

Whilst I did quite enjoy this adaptation of

Whilst I did quite enjoy this adaptation of Alexandre Dumas' novel, I found it all just a bit too whimsical. "D'Artagnan" (Douglas Fairbanks) is desperate to join the famous King's Musketeers so travels to Paris where he alights on the three that his father would have definitely told him to avoid! Porthos (George Siegmann); Athos (Léon Bary) and Aramis (Eugene Pallette) soon have our young, but accomplished, swordsman embroiled in plots that reach the highest offices of state. It is in these lofty echelons of power that Nigel de Brulier (Cardinal Richelieu) in trying to mould the rather weak willed King Louis XIII (Adolphe Menjou) to his will. The only fly in his ointment is the wily, determined Queen Anne (Mary MacLaren). I was always slightly puzzled by the rather wholesome way this lady is portrayed, since almost all of her vulnerability - essentially the crux of the whole story - comes from her affair with the British Prime Minister - the Duke of Buckingham (Thomas Holding). When Richelieu cottons on to this, and discovers that his Queen has made a gift of some rather valuable jewels to her paramour, he sets out to bring her down in disgrace. Only our four intrepid cavaliers can save the day... The sets and costumes are super, Fairbanks and Pallette deliver plenty of swashbuckling action when called for, but the film just lacked too much by way of action for me (and there is a degree of shot repetition, too). du Brulier has no menace to him at all as the scheming Cardinal and so any sense of peril as the musketeers rally to their task is largely lost in a rather glorified costume drama. Another film that celebrates it's centenary this year, and certainly worth watching - it's just a bit disappointing, is all....
