Gretchen Felker-MartinGUEST
... by the, by the King of France.
Gretchen Felker-MartinGUEST
Just one of the most astonishing openings, and then that, that incredible little cut back and forth with him and Christopher Logue as, uh, Cardinal Richelieu with, uh, the title drop.
Gretchen Felker-MartinGUEST
Um, it's not a subtle film.
Gretchen Felker-MartinGUEST
It's not a slow film.
Gretchen Felker-MartinGUEST
[laughs]
Matthew JacksonHOST
Uh, and begins this, this conflict.
Matthew JacksonHOST
I love the opening sequence so much, in part because of how just utterly bored and shit-eating, uh, Cardinal Richelieu has to be through this whole performance where, where Graham Armitage is doing this amazing thing where he's Venus on a clamshell being born-
Gretchen Felker-MartinGUEST
Right
Ben MillerGUEST
the millionaire a successful calamity sure I mean sure whatever like I'll take your word on it but I mean it's not one of those things that I ever look at and go sure I'm gonna I really gotta seek out these George Arliss films it's like I'm good
Gordon McNultyHOST
yeah these are the only two movies of his that I've ever seen and I can't imagine seeking out his you know seems to have done a lot of biopics which they've been around all this time because not just Disraeli it's also Alexander Hamilton and Voltaire and the House of Rothschild and the Tunnel where he just I guess he just plays unnamed Prime Minister but Cardinal Richelieu he's in as Cardinal Richelieu.
Gordon McNultyHOST
RIP
Ben MillerGUEST
Tim Curry.
Kevin ReitzelHOST
Three Musketeers, 1993.
Kevin ReitzelHOST
The three best of the disbanded musketeers, Athos, Kiefer Sutherland, Porthos, Oliver Platt, Aramis, Charlie Sheen, join a young, hot-headed, would-be musketeer, D'Artagnan, Chris O'Donnell, to stop Cardinal Richelieu.
Kevin ReitzelHOST
How do you say that, Kyle?
Kyle WagnerHOST
Richelieu.
Kyle WagnerHOST
And I like that as well.
Hayley StoddartGUEST
I think what's great is you've got...
Hayley StoddartGUEST
You've got Tim Curry as Cardinal Richelieu on the one side in the very back.
Hayley StoddartGUEST
And then you've got Rebecca de Mornay and Lady de Winter in the back.
speaker_8HOST
Oh, I know exactly who you're gonna say.
speaker_9HOST
Vincent Price as Cardinal Richelieu.
speaker_8HOST
It is magnificent.

The master of Gothic horror playing the ultimate corrupt politician.
5 MINS LATER
speaker_9HOST
Ranked third on the list, too.
speaker_8HOST
Oh, easily.
speaker_8HOST
They cast Tom Burke, Santiago Cabrera, and the phenomenal Peter Capaldi as Cardinal Richelieu.
speaker_9HOST
Right before he left the show to go pilot the TARDIS as Doctor Who.
GioHOST
Yeah, that's, that was a career killer for a lot of people involved [laughs] there.
GioHOST
Now, as for Tim Curry, he, try to be shocked here, plays the villain in Cardinal Richelieu.
GioHOST
Now, tabbed to direct Disney's Three Musketeers was one Stephen Herek, who had previously directed Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, and would later be tabbed by Disney again to helm the live action 101 Dalmatians.
GioHOST
Now, here, here's a couple of things that really tickled me about this.

SimonHOST
played by Frank Morgan, and Queen Anne, played by Angela Lansbury from the sinister plots of Prime Minister Richelieu, played by Vincent Price, and the treacherous Milady de Winter, played by Lana Turner.
SimonHOST
Gene Kelly's portrayal of D'Artagnan is a highlight, infusing the character with his signature athleticism and charm.
SimonHOST
His performance is reminiscent of a dancer's grace turning sword fights into choreographed spectacles.
Adam J PurcellHOST
Yeah.
Adam J PurcellHOST

Jake MayesHOST
He-
speaker_3GUEST
Cardinal Richelieu on the long tube.
BrianGUEST
Yep.
speaker_3GUEST
Yep.
Justice BurkettHOST
Oh, wow.
Justice BurkettHOST
And Tim Curry plays Cardinal Richelieu in that movie.
Justice BurkettHOST
And that movie is literally only worth watching for one chase sequence and Tim Curry and every Tim Curry scene.
Justice BurkettHOST
There's those are the two reasons to watch that Three Musketeers movie is like really good carriage chase.
Frank CalvilloHOST
He meets and quarrels with three men, Athos, played by Oliver Reed, Porthos, played by Frank Finlay, and Aramis, played by Richard Chamberlain, each of whom challenges him to a duel.
Frank CalvilloHOST
