16MM FEATURE - THE THREE MUSKETEERS - 1948 - GENE KELLY - LANA TURNER
Good condition print on warmed Eastman stock(see screen shots). No VS. Sound. MGM lab leaders intact. MGM logo. Mounted on 4x1600' reels.
I can't possibly watch every film all the way through. Only the first couple of minutes have been watched. Please bid accordingly. If I list a film ...as good condition it does not mean "excellent or mint".
PLEASE SEE FILM GRADING SCALE BELOW:
Mint or New: Means just that. It may have been run, but still physically looks mint, untouched by a projector.
Near Mint: Only the slightest signs of having been run. Appears Mint when projected on the screen.
Like New: Can be older print that was well taken care of. May have only the slightest signs of use, occasional minor light line or splice or minor cue mark, if any. Starting at this level, older prints may have a little curl to the film, which is common.
Excellent+: Very minimal wear or light lines at times with an occasional, although seldom, splice. No major repairs or missing scenes transitions from TV use.
Excellent: Will have some minimal wear or light lines and may have an occasional temporary light emulsion line, a few splices or minor repair. Possibly some short lap dissolves or minor cue marks around transitional scenes if it was used by a TV station, but highly acceptable condition.
Very Good: Will have some wear and lines, cue marks, minor repairs and usually more splices than desirable. An occasional emulsion scratch.
Good: The same as Very Good but with more scratches, wear and some spots that may be splicy from having been damaged. Still watchable.
Fair or Poor: Will need to be checked for extensive repairs before running. I usually will never even list anything in this condition, only if a desirable title.

The third talkie version of Dumas' The Three Musketeers, this splashy MGM adaptation is also the first version in Technicolor. Gene Kelly romps his way through the role of D'Artagnan, the upstart cadet who joins veteran Musketeers Athos (Van Heflin), Porthos (Gig Young) and Aramis (Robert Coote) in their efforts to save their beloved Queen Anne (Angela Lansbury) from disgrace. They are aided in their efforts by the lovely and loyal Constance (June Allyson), while the villainy is in the capable hands of Milady De Winter (Lana Turner) and Richelieu (Vincent Price). Notice we don't say Cardinal Richelieu: anxious not to offend anyone, MGM removed the religious angle from the Cardinal's character. While early sound versions of Three Musketeers eliminated the deaths of Constance and Milady, this adaptation telescopes the novel's events to allow for these tragedies. True to form, MGM saw to it that Lana Turner, as Milady, was dressed to the nines and heavily bejeweled for her beheading sequence. Portions of the 1948 Three Musketeers, in black and white, showed up in the silent film-within-a-film in 1952's Singin' in the Rain, which of course also starred Gene Kelly.
