The Three Musketeers (1948)

Synopsis

D' Artagnan, noble young person provincial arriving of his Gascogne native, arrives at Paris to engage in the regiment of the Mousquetaires of the king Louis XIII. For that it places and settles in the old Bonacieux family, whose niece, Constance, do not leave it indifferent. Its temperament enthusiastic and bubbling is worth to him to cross iron with three Mousquetaires, Athos, Porthos and Aramis. The arrival of the guards of the cardinal of Richelieu puts a term at their battle and D' Artagnan sees its three adversaries lining up at its sides to push back the men of the cardinal. After this victory, they are linked in perilous adventures to thwart the conspiracies of Richelieu… while shouting and by crossing irons “for all, all for a” .
