As fantastic and unpredictable as the Count of Monte Cristo himself was the genius who created him, Alexander Dumas. A writer of amazing energy and monumental achievements, he often displayed a childish vanity and delighted to be known as a man of the world, a bow-brummel.
To protect his pride, he once fought a duel, attacking his opponent furiously, prior with his free hand, he struggled to hold up his trousers, which persisted in slipping down. For a pet he selected a vulture for raiding him on the streets like a peacock until the vicious bird turned on him and took a piece out of his leg.
Duma made fortune after fortune through each one blissfully away and died penniless. His novel, The Count of Monte Cristo, appeared only a few months after the Three Musketeers, with like riding an ant on the adverse and following it up with Gone with a Wind.
On playform, Monte Cristo ran here and abroad for 39 years. Twice a motion picture, the carto Monte Cristo comes to you with a star spangled cast headed by Robert Montgomery. His ability to assume a wide range of character types makes him one of the screen's most applauded actors and especially equipped for the title role tonight.
