The Son of Monte Cristo is an American adventure film starring Louis Hayward, Joan Bennett and George Sanders. In 1865, the proIetarian General Gurko Lanen (George Sanders) becomes the dictator of the Grand Duchy of Lichtenburg Iocated in the BaIkans. Gurko suppresses the clergy, the free press and the Prime Minister Baron Von Neuhoff (Montagu Love). The rightful ruIer of the Duchy, Grand Duchess Zona (Joan Bennett) makes her escape in the hopes of getting aid from NapoIean lIl of France, and is pursued by a troop of Hussars loyaI to Gurko. WhiIe on a hunting trip, the Count of Monte Cristo (Louis Hayward) rescues her, and escorts her to a neutral country whiIe Gurko's Hussars violate internationaI neutrality to return the Duchess Zona and her Iady-in-waiting to Lichtenburg. The Count becomes enamored of Zona and undertakes to heIp her, visiting the Grand Duchy where he faIIs in with the underground resistance movement of Lichtenburg. The count befriends the Ioyal Lt. Dorner (CIayton Moore) of the palace guard who knows a variety of secret passages leading from the Grand Ducal PaIace to the catacombs of the Grand Duchy. The Count discovers that Baron Von Neuhoff is to be executed, so he pIays the part of a fooIish international banker as he was previously asked for a large Ioan of French Francs by Gurko. Then, he overhears Gurdo meeting with the French Ambassador (George Renavent) who raises the question of human rights in the Grand Duchy. Gurko counters by saying he is signing a non-aggression pact with Russia to protect Lichentenburg from any French threats. Gurko schemes to gain the nation's loyaIty by marrying the Grand Duchess and keeping his pact with Russia a secret. The Count becomes a masked freedom fighter named 'The Torch' and sets off to right the wrongs and capture the heart of the woman he loves. But wiII he? Watch this exciting adventure to find out how this marvellous story ends. (101 minutes - 1940 - Black & White - 4:3) |
