A blockbuster of its day, which spawned a number of sequels (an adaptation of Twenty Years After was released the following year); remade as a talkie in 1933 with the same director and many of the same cast.

• The Three Musketeers (1948) – directed by George Sidney for MGM; starring Gene Kelly, Van Heflin, Angela Lansbury, Lana Turner, June Allyson.
• The Three Musketeers (1973) and The Four Musketeers (1974) – a more-than-usually-complete adaptation directed by Richard Lester from a screenplay by George MacDonald Fraser; starring Michael York as d'Artagnan, Oliver Reed as Athos, Frank Finlay as Porthos, Richard Chamberlain as Aramis, Charlton Heston as Richelieu, Faye Dunaway as Milady de Winter, Christopher Lee as the Count De Rouchefort, and Raquel Welch as Constance Bonacieux.

• The Three Musketeers (1993) – a Disney production starring Charlie Sheen as Aramis, Kiefer Sutherland as Athos, Chris O'Donnell as D'Artagnan, Oliver Platt as Porthos, and Tim Curry as Richelieu. Bryan Adams wrote the hit "All For Love" for the movie's soundtrack, performing it with Rod Stewart and Sting.
• The Musketeer (2001) – very loose adaptation, in a style imitating Asian action movies.
• The Three Musketeers (2004) – yet another Disney remake, this one a made-for-video animated film, with Mickey Mouse, Goofy, and Donald Duck in the title roles.
