I started watching first chapter and in the original versión I had some difficulties to understand, until I could see or hear, that the King, approaching the frozen lake spoke English !!! I won´t see any more, I´m sorry but I can´t believe such a Louis XIV. One of my 16 grand grand grand mothers was a Borbón, as we say in my country, and I cannot get used to this

the film is sometimes boring, sometimes beautiful, sometimes even unpleasant. I would remark the beauty of Rome in the night walks, the city always ahead of its people. What I don't like is the actor playing the leading role, he is not at all elegant, or handsome or interesting by any means. The Marcello Mastroianni from la dolce vita is here a good actor ( everybody says )but without any charm or any looks to be part of the high class society

this is the famous novel by Dumas la tulipe noir, not Zorro or whatever I have read in other reviews. I can recall many names in this film, extremely popular in our cinema, television and theater, like Adolfo Marsillach, as the Police Chief la Mouche, Alvaro de luna, before being a most celebrated bandit in Spanish television, José Luis Pellicena, glory of Spanish theater thorough decades, and many others. Very pretty actresses, you can't beat a famous Miss Italy, Virna Lisi, and on top of that, the most handsome and charming of all, Alain Delon, 28 year old by then, at the peak of his career to make this film version of revolution, adventure, romance, comedy and all the ingredients of the great Alexandre Dumas novel.
