English Summary:

The Three Musketeers (also known as The Three Musketeers: The Queen's Diamonds) is a 1973 film based on the 1844 novel The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas. It was directed by Richard Lester and written by George MacDonald Fraser. It was originally proposed in the 1960s as a vehicle for The Beatles, whom Lester had directed in two other films.

The film adheres closely to the novel, and also injects a fair amount of humor. It was shot by David Watkin, with an eye for period detail. The fight scenes were choreographed by master swordsman William Hobbs.

Having learned swordsmanship from his father, the young country bumpkin d'Artagnan arrives in Paris with dreams of becoming a king's musketeer. Unaccustomed to the city life, he makes a number of clumsy faux pas. First he finds himself insulted, knocked out and robbed by the Comte de Rochefort, an agent of Cardinal Richelieu, and once in Paris comes into conflict with three musketeers, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, each of whom challenges him to a duel for some accidental insult or embarrassment. As the first of these duels is about to begin, Jussac arrives with five additional swordsmen of Cardinal Richelieu's guards. D'Artagnan sides with the musketeers in the ensuing street fight and becomes their ally in opposition to the Cardinal, who wishes to increase his already considerable power over the king, Louis XIII. D'Artagnan also begins an affair with his landlord's wife, Constance Bonacieux, who is dressmaker to the Queen, Anne of Austria.

Hungarian Summary:

D'Artagnan, a vagyontalan, ám bátor gascogne-i nemesifjú testőr szeretne lenni. Megismerkedik a három híres királyi testőrrel, Athosszal, Porthosszal és Aramisszal, s együtt küzdenek meg Richelieu bíboros embereivel. A tét: visszaszerezni a nyakéket, amit az ifjú királyné meggondolatlanul kedvesének, Buckingham hercegének ajándékozott szerelmi zálogul. A gyémánt nyakék visszajuttatása végül D'Artagnanra hárul.
