Trivia and Quotes

Quotes
  • Athos: This was my family`s chapel, Charlotte. You`ll remember we took our vows here. I loved you, Charlotte. I still love you. I love you as I love war and drunkeness. I love you as men love all that is worst for them.
  • Constance Bonacieux: Whatever my reputation or my D`Artagnan`s, I don`t take love lightly.
  • D`Artagnan: Porthos, when did a wound ever come between you and a fight? Porthos: [lying on his stomach] Well, unfortunately the position of this one comes between me and my horse.
  • Lady de Winter: But, your grace, how can you trust me with such a confidence? What if I refuse to go to England? Richelieu: Can there be anybody more trustworthy, Milady, than an ambitious woman of fashion... with a history?
  • Richelieu: It takes a good man to prevent a catastrophe, Milady, and a great man to make use of one.
  • Jussac: [while dueling] Why don`t you use your right hand, Athos? Athos: I save my right hand for my drinking.
  • Athos: To die among friends. Can a man ask more? Can the world offer less? Who wants to live `till the last bottle is empty? It`s all-for one, d`Artagnan, and one for all.
  • D`Artagnan: I kissed the Queen`s hand! Constance Bonacieux: Have you no higher ambitions?
  • The Duke of Buckingham: [to the queen] England is mine, France shall be mine, and you shall be mine.
  • Athos: This is no hour for composing letters or looking happy.
  • D`Artagnan: I come from the end of the earth to implore you. Constance Bonacieux: I thought you said you came from upstairs.
  • Constance Bonacieux: Oh monsieur! Monsieur, you come from the heavens. D`Artagnan: No mademoiselle, just from upstairs.
    Trivia
  • Ian Keith, who plays Rochefort in this film, also portrayed the character in the 1935 version of The Three Musketeers (1935).
  • In the original novel Constance was the wife, not the goddaughter of D`Artagnan`s landlord. By 1948 standards, a hero like D`Artagnan would never dally with a married woman.
  • Angela Lansbury considered herself too young to play the role of the Queen and wanted to play Milady De Winter.
  • This was `Gene Kelly(I)``s favorite non-musical role.
  • In her autobiography, June Allyson notes that she did not feel comfortable doing a period piece, and that she tried to get out of her assignment in the picture.
  • During Turner`s suspension, MGM began a search for her possible replacement and, at one point, considered Alida Valli, who was then under contract to David O. Selznick.
  • Lana Turner`s first appearance in a color feature.
  • Lana Turner originally accepted a studio suspension in preference to playing Lady de Winter because she considered Milady a secondary character.
  • Fearing pressure from church groups, MGM had the script refer to Richelieu to as prime minister rather than Cardinal and almost all traces of him being a cardinal or a man of the church have been removed (although Jean Heremans is still credited as "Cardinal Guard"), even though other versions of this story kept Richelieu a cardinal without any repercussions.
  • Robert Taylor and Ricardo Montalban and Sydney Greenstreet were originally cast as Athos, Aramis and Richelieu.
