Alexander Dumas' book, published in eighteen parts over two years, is the famous rollicking adventure thriller about one man's revenge served fourteen years cold; this movie version, cramming the book's 1000 pages into an hour and a half, does a reasonable job of telling the story but never has a hope of being able to convey the thrills or present some of the more extravagant details in such a rush without looking pretty corny at times.
