Auction History Result 7w115 FOUR MUSKETEERS 1/2sh 1975 Raquel Welch, Oliver Reed, great wacky Jack Rickard art! Date Sold 7/25/2019 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1975 Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) The Four Musketeers, the 1974 (released in the U.S. in 1975) Richard Lester Panamanian/Spanish romantic France swashbuckling adventure comedy ("What could be better than The Three Musketeers?"; "it's four for fun and fun for all!"; "Based on the novel by Alexandre Dumas") starring Oliver Reed ("as Athos"), Raquel Welch, Richard Chamberlain ("as Aramis"), Michael York ("as D'Artagnan"), Christopher Lee ("as Rochefort"), Faye Dunaway ("as Milady"), Charlton Heston ("as Cardinal Richelieu"), Frank Finlay ("as Porthos"), Geraldine Chapline, Jean Pierre Cassel, and Simon Ward. Note that crafty producer Alexander Salkind signed his actors for ONE movie, but made it EXTREMELY long, and then had it edited into TWO movies, and released them as "The Three Musketeers" and "The Four Musketeers", but paid his actors for only ONE movie! The actors sued him, and they received SOME extra money, but not as much as they would have had they been paid for two movies! Finally, note that when they first decided to divide the movie into two parts, they apparently originally planned on making each of them "The Three Musketeers", but with the first part being named "The Three Musketeers: The Queen's Diamonds", and the first release presskit shows that. However, they likely knew that would cause the actors to sue, so they dropped the "The Queen's Diamonds" and simply released it as "The Three Musketeers", and changed the second part to "The Four Musketeers".

Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were machine folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 half-sheet posters (note that most post-1970 half-sheets were NOT machine folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets). Condition: very good. The poster has never been folded and it is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
