He commands a performance that is both convincing and enigmatic in power of destiny of revenge – it is chilling and remarkable! The BBC had televised this outstanding production in black & white before colour transmission followed –and now we can reminisce or discover and judge for ourselves whether this is the best version which is available in DVD?It was a long time ago that the BBC adaption was shown in a series on television.in 1964 only.and it is wonderful now to have a copy in DVD format! There have, of course, been several feature films – usually disappointing though, with romanticized melodrama and over simplification of the wonderful plots.though I did like the French version with Gerald Depardieu which runs for 360 minutes. Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 June 2016Īlan Badel excels and engages so well in character of The Count of Monte Cristo that we believe him to be the only actor who can rightfully portray the Count in this screen version from the BBC? I think we might agree.Although there may be some age-old doubts as to the BBC production of years ago, in my opinion this is finest version to date.The words are spoken directly from the very book by Alexandre Dumas: Alan Badel is fluent in French, and therefore he naturally articulates in French pronunciation when the spoken word demands.
In my opinion this is finest version to date
