S R I saw it after teaching the book in a class to compare and it was a cheap take on the excellent novel despite trying to stick to the plot. The melodrama was so thick it could be cut with a knife. Saw on Pluto. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/27/24 Full Review Audience Member A wonderful movie from 1974 / 5 by a very famous author ....

Very , very good acting too , highly recommended Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/25/24 Full Review Gerry M Made for TV, this carries a lot of the original story without too many hideous changes, Read the book to understand better, Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/31/24 Full Review Jelisije J A pretty good tv adaption that starts off a bit wrong, but quickly recovers with strong performances from the actors that really brings the characters to life. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/30/24 Full Review Jack S A lavish and generally well made television version that would have benefitted from a little narrative focus—the massive classic novel is just too broad a source to effectively cover with this much detail and this many characters in merely a 1-3/4 hour long production. Chamberlain makes a fine and dashing Dantes, but Curtis is unfortunately miscast. Nelligan, in her debut, strongly dominates her every scene—more of her and simply less of everything else would have satisfyingly improved the result here. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member A very watered down version of the book, which is no bad thing. However, the hammy acting lives up to the ridiculous nature of the story. Pretty average stuff and not worth watching on any level really.
