“The Three Musketeers (also known as The Three Musketeers (The Queen's Diamonds) ) is a 1973 swashbuckler film based on the 1844 novel by Alexandre Dumas . It is directed by Richard Lester from a screenplay by George MacDonald Fraser and produced by Ilya Salkind . It stars Michael York , Oliver Reed , Frank Finlay and Richard Chamberlain as the titular musketeers, with Raquel Welch , Geraldine Chaplin , Jean-Pierre Cassel , Charlton Heston , Faye Dunaway , Christopher Lee , Simon Ward , Georges Wilson and Spike Milligan .
“The film adheres closely to the novel and also injects a fair amount of humor. It was proposed in the 1960s as a vehicle for The Beatles , whom Lester had directed in A Hard Day's Night and Help! . It was shot by David Watkin , with an eye for period detail, in Madrid and Segovia, Spain. The fight scenes were choreographed by master swordsman William Hobbs . The musical score was composed by Michel Legrand .
“The Three Musketeers premiered in France on December 11, 1973. It was both a critical and commercial success and was nominated for several awards, including five BAFTAs . Raquel Welch won a Golden Globe for her performance. The Four Musketeers , a sequel shot back-to-back with its predecessor, was released the following year.”– more at Wikipedia .
