Loosely based on Alexadre Dumas' "The Three Musketeers," This movie follows the adventures of D'Artangan as he seeks to become a kings musketeer and avenge the killing of his parents by the evil Febre. In the course of these adventures, he gets involved in the intrigue of Cardinal Richelieu's power plays and falls in love with the niece of an inkeeper. The main contribution this movie makes to it's genre is having fight scenes directed by a Hong Kong action director and every fight scene is set in a new, unique location with a new twist. With all this, however, it never really trancends it's genre.

The review of this Movie prepared by Zorikh Lequidre
A depression-era musical comedy version of the classic Dumas tale. In this version the three musketeers lose a drinking contest with the cooks (the Ritz Brothers) of an inn while waiting for d'Artagnan to arrive for their duel. The cooks take their place and the adventure begins! Surprisingly faithful to the feeling of the novel, this fast-paced romp has a good cast, bad puns, slapstick humor, fun songs, swashbuckling swordpay, and a particularly noisy precision dance. Trivia: Gloria Stuart from "Titanic" plays the Queen.
