I read the book long ago, and adored the storyline. I noticed similarities when Anthony Hopkins snuck out of prison as Diego in the Mask of Zorro. Then one of my friends brought up a tape, handed it to me, and said, "Watch this." Tonight, I did, and I must admit that it was excellent. The talents of the gentleman actor who played Dantes are perfect--I believed in Dantes' character the whole way through the script. Guy was just evil in his portrayal--especially when Ferdand and Mercedes were separated by railings in the Paris mansion discussing the end results of that morning's activities, and he replies that it's liberating. I was delighted to hear about Albert's parentage. Coming, as per usual to the IMDB site, I just ~had~ to look up the movie to find out who the warden was and I was not disappointed. This role was just a long line of roles in movies I liked: 1993's _Three Musketeers_ and _Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves_. He plays nasty so well. Paraphrasing: I don't have anything better to do all day cracked me up.
Harris, as usual, is a pleasure to watch with his smooth voice, and fluid acting. I am also a HP and a _Camelot_ fan, so enough said there!
This is a movie I recommend highly to all. Enjoy!
