Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe role of Blaze was written with Bourvil in mind, which would have marked Gérard Oury's fourth collaboration with the actor, and his third time pairing him alongside Louis de Funès, after The Sucker (1965) and Don't Look Now... We're Being Shot At! (1966). After Bourvil passed away from cancer in September 1970, Oury and co-writer Danièle Thompson were at a party talking to actress Simone Signoret, who suggested her husband Yves Montand take on the role, which was completely rewritten. Oury compared the two takes on the character to valets made famous in plays by Molière, with Bourvil's being a "Sganarelle" and Montand's a "Scapin".

Featured review
lovely
For the fine mix of humor, costumes and performances. and for the seductive manner to give to musketeer era a special charm. a film about power and sins and remembering the flavor of popular tales. the key of succes - the admirable meet between de Funes and Montand. love and trahison and revenge plans and a smart end . an easy comedy, off course. but a remarkable one. for its force of dialogues and gags and the sweet chain of adventures who, not being a moral lesson , represents a subtle pledge for the beauty of French classic comedy.
