In the prologue the four musketeers stand in a framing device, as a medieval stage booth, and D'Artagnan steps forward and speaks to the audience, then steps back and resumes his position with the other three, who remained motionless; after the mid-point intermission, the same situation is repeated, with D'Artagnan speaking again to the audience, finishing with the words, "once more, once more . . . ", after which the film resumes with the title card "20 years later". These were the first lines of dialogue ever spoken on film by Douglas Fairbanks, in his last silent film.

Blooper
The iron-masked King languishes in his tower prison and notices a fisherman in the sea below. He quickly scratches a message on a pewter platter and tosses it out of the window to the rocks below. The fisherman picks up the place and READS the message - at that time in history the (oppressed) French working class were illiterate.

Citazioni
Porthos: Come on! There is greater adventure beyond.

Versioni alternative
The 1999 restored version (near 104 minutes) by Kino Video, has the original speeches by d'Artagnan, the title cards, but a new musical score by Carl Davis, played by the City of Prague Philharmonica Orchestra. The restored version is distributed by Kino Video and Photoplay Productions.

Silent film with narration

This was a silent film. However, a running narration was added. Douglas Fairbanks Jr. did the voice-over. His father played D'Artagnan in the film. According to 'Movie and Video Guide 1994' by Leonard Maltin, the version with the narration was a 1940 reissue. Maltin also says that the film had some talkie sequences. So far only the opening scene had actors speaking on camera.

I am currently watching it (17 June 2012) on Rock Valley College's public access channel. I have seen three different versions of this story. Each has its own variations of the storyline. I like this one, maybe because I am partial to silent films. The story depends on action more than inane chatter.
