Although the two movies were probably filmed at the same time,this one is certainly weaker than the first episode (which was not much of a comic movie anyway) .There is a rather unexciting script,since the main "interest" lies in the fact that Dumas's musketeers were wash outs and their valets the real heroes and such a subject could not be sustained over two movies.The threesome King/Richelieu/Father Joseph does not make up here for the mediocrity of the Charlots 's acting (the latter is almost absent).Josephine Chaplin is a more credible Constance Bonacieux than Raquel Welsh in Richard Lester's highly superior version.But for the rest,as I cannot say something nice...
