Overview

The Count of Monte Cristo (French: Le comte de Monte Cristo) is a 1943 French-Italian film directed by Robert Vernay with Ferruccio Cerio as the supervising director. Based on the classic 1844 novel Le Comte de Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas père, this two-part film stars Pierre Richard-Willm in the title role. It was shot at the Cinecittà Studios in Rome. The film's sets were designed by the art director René Renoux. Plot Edmond Dantès, first mate of a merchant ship returning from the Orient, having taken command of his ship after the death of the captain, docks at Elba to deliver a letter to Napoleon. As a result of this imprudence, committed to respect the will of his predecessor, he falls victim to a plot hatched by the sailor Caderousse, by the officer Fernand Mondego (later Count de Morcerf), in love with Mercédès, Dantès's fiancée, and by the magistrate Gérard de Villefort (who fears to be compromised by the ultra-Bonapartist activities of his father, General Noirtier). Dantes is then taken in secret to the depths of a castle off the coast of Marseille…
