This was the first 'Count of Monte Cristo' film I ever watched.I had to admit,it was a huge favourite,and still is!If I may have a slight gripe,I just thought the film ended too quickly.I would have liked to have seen a lot more added to it.The French TV epic did this brilliantly,and whilst this effort could never hope to beat that,its still hugely enjoyable!

The best versionReview date: 2008-07-27 Rating: 10 out of 10I still feel this is the best version of the film, although I did enjoy the series with Gerard Depardieu as well as the most recent version with James Caviezal.
I watched this film as a little girl and became such a fan of Richard Chamberlain because of it. His portrayal as the Count is breathtaking and the supporting cast are all really good. Such a thought provoking story and you feel for the main character Edumund Dante throughout and it is so clever watching him seek revenge on those who imprisoned him. The film inspired me to read the book and this has now become my favourite book of all time.
Richard Chamberlain is also excellent in the Man in the Iron Mask (made around the same time) and again I feel this is one of the best versions ever made. Would definately recommend both films they are excellent.
