The Count of Monte-Cristo

Edmund Dantes, betrayed and falsely imprisoned, learns about a hidden treasure on the Island of Monte-Cristo. Upon his escape, he uses the fortune to become the Count of Monte-Cristo.

"The Count of Monte-Cristo" is a tale of adventure with an improbable plot that doesn't dampen the pleasure of watching the on-screen exploits of the various goodies and baddies. Elaborate plans for revenge, served with a side of moral complexity, easily fill the long running time. The story has been the subject of tens of remakes because of its satisfying plot and action, and this release is all the more watchable for being elaborately costumed with lavish sets. Swashbuckling derring-do.
