I do not know if it is the best or the worst version of the classic novel. It is only the occasion for Louis Jourdan to propose his Edmond Dantes . And his work is more than decent against, in few moments, of the script.
Beautiful costumes and decent solutions for fair adaptation.
The spirit of "60's is obvious and this excuse part of the manner of adaptation.
But it is just a clean Count of Monte Cristo, preserving in the clothes and gestures of revenge the same Edmond . And this not very succesful metamorphosis, for me, a simple reader , far to be or become admirer of mister Dumas is just enough.
Romance and revenge. And the familiar emotion, sure, in soft style, from the reading of book.
In short, the good work of Louis Jourdan is the axis of this Count . Could be better ? Off course, if you ignore the expectations of its period.
