What happens

D'Artagnan and Three Musketeers (Russian: «Д'Артаньян и три мушкетёра», romanized: D'Artanyan i tri mushketyora) is a three-part swashbuckler musical miniseries produced in the Soviet Union and first aired in 1979. It is based on the 1844 novel The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas, père. The film stars Mikhail Boyarsky as D'Artagnan, Veniamin Smekhov as Athos, Igor Starygin as Aramis, Valentin Smirnitsky as Porthos, Margarita Terekhova as Milady de Winter, Oleg Tabakov as King Louis XIII, Alisa Freindlich as Anne of Austria, Aleksandr Trofimov as Cardinal Richelieu, and Lev Durov as Captain de Tréville. The film, and its numerous songs became extremely popular in the Soviet Union throughout the late 1970s and early 1980s, and is now considered a classic. Three sequels were made: Musketeers Twenty Years After (1993), The Secret of Queen Anne or Musketeers Thirty Years After (1994) and The Return of the Musketeers, or The Treasures of Cardinal Mazarin (2009).
