French Adventure Flick with Gerard BARRAY
Sequel to the Musketeer classic with Gerard Barray and Mylene Demongeot
The lively fun continues here too. Of course, with a downside: a devil guarded by an angel! This can only go wrong!
Perrette Pradier remains a bit pale for me as Constance Bonacieux. The brave DÀrtagnan's comrades-in-arms also develop little life of their own, but they fight excellently. Georges Descrieres as Athos, Bernard Woringer as Porthos and Jacques Toja as Aramis fence and fight that it is a joy. As Cardinal Richelieu we see Daniel Sorano, who is a bit stingy with his scheming brilliance. A huge plus point of the film, however, is the character of Planchet, who saves DÀrtagnan more than once. Jean Carmet shines in this small but fine role. About ten years later, Jean Carmet (1920-1994) was there alongside Pierre Richard as a sidekick of "The Big Blonde with the Black Shoe", who first caused a storm of enthusiasm at the 1973 Berlinale and then in West German cinemas.
As a fan of cloak-and-dagger films, you can't go wrong with either film. Great battles, attractive actors and lots of French flair!
