"He left Satan with an angel," Athos (Van Heflin) says of John Sutton's Buckingham two-thirds of the way through this fanciful Technicolor version of The Three Musketeers. The angel is of course June Allyson's demure Constance Bonacieux and the evil one a lusciously gowned Mylady de Winter, alias Lana Turner, and from that moment on M-G-M's rather lighthearted version of Alexandre Dumas's classic swashbuckler takes on a rather ominous tone. Reviewers and audiences alike have quibbled about the casting of this colorful mix of burlesque and melodrama ever since it was released back in 1948 but although Gene Kelly tries too hard at times and Miss Turner perhaps fails to sustain her glamorous mystique for the duration, The Three Msuketeers remains an outrageously entertaining yarn, the Southern California locales perfectly standing in for 17th Century France and England. With the nimble Kelly at the helm, the sword fights take on an almost operatic intensity and stunt riders take care of the rest. The end result is a classic swashbuckler in the finest sense of the word and certainly far superior to the otherwise much vaunted 1973 version. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, All Movie Guide

The Disc
Another long-awaited title has received a DVD release from Warners and, once again, the result is slightly unsatisfactory. The 1.37:1 picture is a definite mixed bag. In terms of detail there’s nothing to be disappointed about. The image is crisp and full of character with a beautiful sharpness that never steps into over-enhancement. However, I found the colours a little disappointing. This is a 1940s Technicolor film and, as such, it should be as bright and colourful as Medieval illuminated illustrations. But here, while the colours look accurate enough, they are somewhat lacking in vivacity. There is also rather a lot of minor print damage on show in the form of small scratches here and there. It would have been nice to see an Ultra-Resolution job done on this film but I do appreciate the prohibitive financial factors involved in doing this on all catalogue titles.
Fortunately, there are no such reservations about the mono soundtrack which is delightfully snappy and clear throughout. The rambunctious music score is particularly notable.
As for extras, we get the usual short and cartoon along with the original trailer and an audio feature. These are one of the major pleasures of releases from Warners, not least since this is the first time some of them have seen the light of day for over half a century. Looking At London is a ten minute James A. Fitzpatrick “Traveltalk” feature which, er, looks at London in the aftermath of the Blitz. It runs through the expected sights – the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace etc – and is very nostalgic, even if you weren’t even a twinkle in your parents’ eye when it was made. There is much emphasis on the potential for urban redevelopment. It’s got a lot of historical interest as a colour record of London in the 1940s and, despite the clunking commentary, has a lot of charm. It’s not in the best of condition, seemingly taken from a TV print, but is certainly watchable. The cartoon, “What Price Fleadom” is a Tex Avery creation with the usual lunatic invention, though the condition of the print is far from good. The theatrical trailer, oddly, looks rather more colourful than the main feature. Finally, there is a radio promo for Lana Turner which dates from 1948. This contains a stentorian narration along with snippets from Turner which sound hilariously un-spontaneous with the actress coming over like the Duchess of Kent.Código: Seleccionar todo
