Douglas Fairbanks' longest and most elaborate production up to 1921, The Three Musketeers was Fairbanks' first full-blown costume adventure (his modestly produced 1920 The Mark of Zorro was regarded as an extension of his breezy contemporary comedies). Fairbanks assumes the leading role of D'Artagnan, who after challenging musketeers Athos (Leon Barry), Porthos (George Siegmann) and Aramis (Eugene Pallette--yes, Eugene Pallette) to a duel, joins forces with them in opposition of the scheming

Exuberantly embraces the melodramatic absurdities of Dumas's moral universe [though] Don Q Son of Zorro did better with this kind of sophisticated European intrigue.
the essence of the plot- is competently handled
A barrelful o' fun--probably the best cinematic adaptation of Dumas' source material.
This 3 Musketeers movie is just like all the others, no surprises here, it's no better and no worse than any other. Overall it is pretty fun and entertaining, but it's long and has a bunch of boring scenes with the queen and duke and other characters. It could have been better.

This film is faithful to the novel, although it's a very condensed version, even at a hair short of two hours. That's understandable since a completely faithful adaptation would have to be at least three times this long. Douglas Fairbanks is perfect as D'Artagnan, aside from the fact that he's obviously much older
