At Sword's Point (1952)

When the dying Queen Anne (Gladys Cooper) summons the four musketeers to help her save the throne of France from the wicked Duc De Lavalle (Robert Douglas), who wants to marry the Princess (Nancy Gates) Since the original musketeers are either aged or deceased, the sons of D’Artagnan (Cornel Wilde), Aramis (Dan O’Herlihy), Porthos (Alan Hale Jr.) and the daughter of Athos (Maureen O’Hara) show up instead. Directed by Lewis Allen (DESERT FURY). A lively if second rate swashbuckler without much flair (it’s budget limitations show) but the effort is appreciated and Wilde and O’Hara are as adept with a sword as Flynn and Rathbone. Shot in 1949 but it sat on the shelf for three years. Edward Stevenson’s costumes give the film a much needed elegance but Roy Webb’s imitation Korngold score is tedious at best. With Blanche Yurka and June Clayworth.
