(DVD, Anchor Bay)
Michael York plays the young d'Artagnan, a naive country bumpkin but skilled swordsman, who travels to Paris to join the famous king's musketeers. They initially ignore him because of his social ineptitude, but soon change their opinions when he joins them in a sword fight. His affair with a local dress maker to the queen gets him involved in a ploy by a powerful cardinal to discredit the king. He joins the musketeers to save the queen's honor and earns a place by their side. Lively updating of the Dumas story with equal doses of comedy and adventure.
