"THE THREE MUSKETEERS" (1948) Review

"THE THREE MUSKETEERS" (1948) Review

There are times when I find myself amazed at the longevity of Alexandre Dumas' 1844 novel, "The Three Musketeers". The novel has been in circulation for nearly 170 years. Hollywood and other film industries have been adapting the novel for the Film o Televisione for nearly a century. One adaptation I recently viewed was the Hollywood movie produced and released da MGM Studios in 1948.

We all know the story. A young Frenchman from Gascon sets out for Paris in the early 17th century to unisciti the King's Musketeers. During this journey, he meets a beautiful,...

"CALIFORNIA" (1947) Review

I am a history nut. And one of my preferito historical periods that I Amore to study is the Antebellum Era of the United States. One of my preferito topics from this period is the California oro Rush. I also Amore movies. But despite this love, I have been constantly disappointed da Hollywood's inability to create a first-rate movie about oro Rush.

I may have to take back my commento about Hollywood's inability to produce a first-rate movie o Televisione production about the oro Rush. There were at least three that managed to impress me. Unfortunately, the latest film...

She and her cousin Natasha share a very special bond and they are inseparable. At the start of the novel, 15-year-old Sonya is in Amore with her cousin, Nikolai Rostov, who initially reciprocates her feelings. Sonya has no dowry and Nikolai’s mother opposes the match. However, she and Nikolai swear eternal Amore before he leaves to fight in the war.

"LOST IN AUSTEN" (2008) Review

I must admit that I am usually not a fan of novels o any other forms of storytelling that are based upon o continuations of published works of the origin author. This is certainly the case for the numerous works (sans two) based upon Jane Austen's six published novels.

The 2008 miniseries, "LOST IN AUSTEN" is not based upon any particular Austen novel that was not written da the Georgian Era writer. Instead, it is the brainchild of screenwriter Guy Andrews. The latter created this fantasy-comedy, which is an adaptation of Austen's novel, "Pride and Prejudice"...

"KING OF THE KHYBER RIFLES" (1953) Review

"KING OF THE KHYBER RIFLES" (1953) Review

Twentieth-Century volpe was never a studio that I would associate with Film about the British Empire. Mind you, the studio had released several during the period between its formation in 1935 and the 1953 release of "KING OF THE KHYBER RIFLES". Yet . . . it never seemed to produce many productions on European imperialism in compare to studios like Paramount Pictures, Warner Brothers and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.

Just recently, I watched "KING OF THE KHYBER RIFLES" and discovered that it was a remake of John Ford's 1929 adventure film, "THE BLACK WATCH". And...

"POLDARK" Series One (1975): Episodes One to Four

"POLDARK" SERIES ONE (1975): EPISODES ONE TO FOUR

A few years ago, I had tried a stab at the first episode of the 1975-1977 series, "POLDARK", which starred Robin Ellis. After viewing ten minuti of theatrical recitazione and dated Fotografia in Episode One on te Tube, I gave up.

Last summer, I read all of the hullaballoo surrounding this new adaptation with Aidan Turner in the lead. Utilizing Netflix, I tried my luck again with the 1975 series and ended up enjoying the first four episodes (I have yet to watch any further episodes) and quite enjoyed it. I enjoyed both versions so much that I took...
