Auction History Result 4d582 FOUR MUSKETEERS Japanese '75 Raquel Welch, Oliver Reed, Chamberlain, Michael York Date Sold 8/16/2011 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Japanese "B2" Movie Poster (measures 20" x 28 1/2") (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 posters were stored in a tri-folded fashion, but where someone took a group of posters and then tri-folded the entire group. This means that many of the posters have only a slight "waviness" one third of the way from the top and the bottom of the poster, but they are not actual folds. They are normally not very noticeable at all from the front of the poster, but they can be seen from the back of the poster, and they mean that the poster does not lay 100% flat. These "waves" greatly diminish if the poster is put under weight for a time, and become almost completely invisible. Most collectors consider them a very minor defect, much less of a defect than actual foldlines. Also note that this poster will be shipped rolled in a tube. Condition: very good to fine.
