Synopsis
In no other role is Douglas Fairbanks´s boyish vigor as irresistibly engaging than as D´Artagnan in Fred Niblo´s The Three Musketeers. "When Alexandre Dumas sat down at his desk," wrote Life magazine critic Robert E. Sherwood, "he doubtless had but one object in view: to provide a suitable story for Douglas Fairbanks to act in the movies."
D´Artagnan is a naïve and ambitious farm boy who yearns to join the Musketeers, the elite regiment of guards under King Louis XIII (Adolphe Menjou). Riding into 1625 Paris on the back of a weathered plowhorse, the young rapscallion quickly wins the respect and friendship of the Musketeers´ most valiant trio in a breathtaking display of acrobatic swordsmanship. When Queen Anne (Mary MacLaren) is maneuvered into a political scandal by the devious Cardinal Richelieu (Nigel De Brulier), D´Artagnan and his bons hommes embark on a treacherous race across France, to England and back to regain a precious brooch that will save the queen´s honor and the future of their nation.
More than a thrilling adventure picture, The Three Musketeers is a handsomely produced, emotionally sensitive telling of Dumas´s classic novel, buoyed by Fairbanks´s electrifying presence. According to Sherwood, it is "one of the great achievements of the movies."..
