Synopsis
The Count of Monte-Cristo (1975) is a British-Italian TV movie adaptation of Alexandre Dumas' classic novel — watch it online on iFILM. Director David Greene assembled a heavyweight cast: Richard Chamberlain as Edmond Dantès, with Trevor Howard, Tony Curtis, Donald Pleasence, and Louis Jourdan.
Dantès is a young sailor on the verge of everything — a captaincy, a fiancée, a future. Rivals forge a treason charge and have him buried in the Château d'If with no trial and no release date. In prison he finds the Abbé Faria, an old man who knows the location of a hidden treasure. Dantès escapes, finds the gold, and builds a new name and a new world from the ground up. Then the accounting begins.
Chamberlain plays the revenge as something cold and precise — unhurried, and completely inevitable. Stream The Count of Monte-Cristo online on iFILM.
