Did you know?!Facts and trivia about The Four Musketeers (1974)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Lawsuits over the actors' pay for The Four Musketeers led to the "Salkind clause": every SAG actors' contract now states how many films a performer is signing up for.
- The producers had planned The Three Musketeers as a single roadshow epic with an intermission, but the material was too long to finish in time for the announced release date, so they split it into two films released six months apart.
- The actors were angry that their work was used to make The Four Musketeers as a separate film while they were paid for only one, and lawsuits were filed to gain the salaries and benefits of a second film the original contracts never mentioned.
