It's also a pleasure to watch and succeeds in translating a plot- heavy book into a handsome set of moving images. Director Henri Diamant- Berger worked with the benefit of a lavish budget and many hours of screen time, since his film was released as a 1. The authentically 1. The script retains almost everything from Dumas's novel, though it simplifies and abbreviates a few parts (including D'Artagnan's wooing of Milday and her seduction of Felton).
