Based on the novel by Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo recounted the tale of Edmond Dantes. Played by Carleton Young, Dantes is imprisoned under a bogus charge of treason in France. After escaping to the island of Monte Cristo, Dante becomes the count and battles his enemies with gusto. Anne Stone plays the beautiful and well-intentioned-conniving Marie Duchene. Ferdinand Munier plays Rene, the Count’s servant and faithful devotee. So strap on your peg leg and grab your musket, because The Count wishes to see you in his chambers.
