Our take

Get ready to fall in love with this classic adaptation of Dumas’s flamboyant and timeless tale from Hollywood’s Golden 1930s. James Whale ( Frankenstein) directs this spirited version, which stars Warren William as D’Artagnan, Alan Hale as the perfect Porthos and the ever-lovely Joan Bennet.
