The Musketeers

The Three Musketeers is probably the first movie I ever saw, starring Lee. Could have been about 10.

One of the best fighting scenes is, however from the sequel, The Four Musketeers. It is so damn good. Nowadays they all fly around and run on walls. These two man quite simply fences for their lives! Michael York and Lee meet in this absolute brilliant fencing scene. And there are no stunt doubles in this one, as Christopher Lee seldom has had that. (Sorry, can't upload it from You Tube for some reason, you'll have to go via the link.)

Another scene from The Four Musketeers, which shows Lee's great sense of humor. Rochefort is to be executed. After tedious procedures of loading the muskets, the soldiers miss him when they shot.
 The guard screems: "Rrreeelllooooaddd!!" And Lee just raises his eyebrow. "Why bother? I may die of old age!" A wonderful example of his ability to deliver lines with a dry exactness which makes it so fabulous.

However, this clip below is from The Three Musketeers, the fist encounter between Rochefort and D'Artagnan. "Unless is it a cheese with legs?"
