An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 8 1/2" x 14" [22 x 36 cm]; 19 pages) (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".
