Context YMMV / TheThreeMusketeers1973

Go To

1* EnsembleDarkhorse: DarkActionGirl Justine de Winter may be the best-liked part of the third movie, and [[spoiler:inspires some HesJustHiding sentiment after last being seen diving out a window into a moat.]]
2* HarsherInHindsight: Athos is a man who drinks on account of his troubled past. Creator/OliverReed was infamous for his love of alcohol that eventually led to his death.
3* HilariousInHindsight: Creator/PhilippeNoiret playing Cardinal Mazarin here, when he would go on to play D'Artagnan in Film/RevengeOfTheMusketeers a few years later.
4* SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: Cardinal Richelieu is much different from Charlton Heston's usual LargeHam roles, yet he manages to pull off a (usually) soft-spoken MagnificentBastard perfectly.
5* OlderThanTheyThink: While this is to date the only English two-part movie adaptation of the book in contrast to the many other versions, it was predated by a [[Film/TheThreeMusketeers1961 1961 French duology,]] which even had the exact same subtitles, "The Queen's Diamonds" and "Milady's Revenge".
6* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: After going to the trouble of bringing back Rochefort in the third movie, he never gets a rematch with D’Artagnan and just gets randomly blown up.
