D’Artagnan from the USSR amazed Western audiences.
The film “The Three Musketeers” enjoys the well-deserved love of Russian viewers. But what about the birthplace of Alexandre Dumas, France? The picture made an ambiguous impression on the French audience. They did not see the most expected in the work of Yungvald-Khilkevich.
First of all, The Three Musketeers is perceived abroad not just as a film, but as a television musical due to the abundance of songs. Therefore, in addition to songs, the French also expected good choreography. Alas, they did not see the incendiary dances from D’Artagnan.
The French audience liked the songs themselves, and they recognized the characters of the characters as fully consistent with the original. But what was not in The Three Musketeers was Soviet propaganda.
Western viewers seriously expected that the picture would be filled with slogans about the unification of the proletarians of all countries, but they heard only the classic “One for all – and all for one!”.
