... you can learn from:
The Three Musketeers (1973)
Athos: You will find, young man, that the futurelooks rosiest through the bottom of a glass.
Today Criterion has released a 4K double-feature of Richard Lesters' two 1970s Musketeers movies which starred Michael York, Oliver Reed, Frank Finlay, Richard Chamberlain, Raquel Welch, Faye Dunaway, Geraldine Chaplin, and Charlton Heston -- these swashbucklers are great fun and I highly recommend them both. With a cast like that how could I not? The movies were supposed to be a single film but they became so over-tuffed that Lester had to split them into two -- ahead of its time that! They're the Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One of their day! (In that the sequels in both cases don't just call themselves "Part 2" and be simple about it but instead go with The Final Reckoning and The Four Muskeeters respectively.)
Boyfriend just called Michael York (in Three Musketeers specifically) "Teen Beat Gollum" and I don't know about you but that's a thing I don't believe I will ever un-think pic.twitter.com/JJk0gHGMZZ

If you’re ever in Paris, you must visit the Musee Rodin. Among other things, they used the building as Richelieu’s chateau and filmed the scene where they were playing chess with dogs as playing pieces here.
Unkind to Michael York, who was stunning in his prime and handsome long afterward. (Ever seen 'Something For Everyone', btw? Angela Lansbury and he starred)
One of the best (the best?) adaptations of Dumas Père’s classic novel. Lester dreamt to make it with Beatles but I think the ultimate cast was more than satisfying
