Nothing personal, but this film is far too abridged. And while I admire Richard Chamberlain, I'm still not sure he was the right casting choice for Dantes. Is it worth a watch? Yes. But it's not really an accurate rendering of the novel. Too many things were changed, and I'm sorry, but what in the world is Tony Curtis doing in this movie? I had an issue with Donald Pleasance showing up, but Tony Curtis?! It just doesn't quite work. I would almost rather watch a version with an entirely unknown cast because at least then the film would be allowed to tell the story without having to highlight their celebrity stars.
