A good film to watch on a wet Sunday afternoon. An exceellent cast of actors including Oliver Reed,Ernest Borgnine, George C Scott, Charlton Heston and Rex Harrison with Raquel Welch adding the glamour element. A film full of frivolity, action and some humour in which you can escape. It compares (possibly because Ollie Reed and Raquel Welch star) with The Musketeers and Man in the Iron Mask so if you like this sort of film then this is one to watch. Its an old story with "old" actors but very well made and enjoyable!
