THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO (Television Release USA 1975)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.0|5.0 Starsìììì

The Count of Monte Cristo, despite being made for television, sports big names like Richard Chamberlain, Louis Jourdan, Donald Pleasance, and Tony Curtis. The script, intriguing and well portrayed, can hold its head up well among the many remakes of this classic story.
