The count of Monte Cristo 1934 - The Hollywood debut of Donat


IMDB link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0025004/?ref_=nv_sr_3
IMDB rating: 7,7


Directors: Rowland V. Lee, Wilfred Lucas
Main Cast: Robert Donat, Elissa Landi, Louis Calhern, Sidney Blackmer



"Few famous novels have been filmed as often as Alexandre Dumas' The Count of Monte Cristo--and few versions are as enjoyable as this 1934 adaptation starring Robert Donat which faithfully  retells the story of the betrayed and wrongfully imprisoned Edmond Dantes. Though the film's tacked-on happy ending may seem a little weak by today's standards, Count provides ample reasons why Dumas and his timeless themes of faith, love and vengeance continue to spawn popular adaptations, such as 1998's Man in the Iron Mask. Directors Rowland V. Lee and Wilfred Lucas do an excellent job of visualizing Dumas' imaginative settings; no expenses were spared on the lavish sets. In the title role, Robert Donat heads up a perfect cast; the role made the Englishman a Hollywood star, and he was offered several other high-profile, swashbuckling roles before his debilitating asthma forced him back home." - http://www.allmovie.com/movie/the-count-of-monte-cristo-v11131
