It was very good. I think Edward Burns is an underrated director, even if he did do that nasty flick with Angelina Jolie.

Yeah, starting a new thread at the next round sounds good.

I could’ve sworn he was in **The Picture of Dorian Gray** , dammit. Ah, well.

**The Three Musketeers**

Sorry, I just checked IMDB (twice in one week!), mainly because I had no idea which of the many version of the Three Mousketeers he was in. It was a made for TV version. Also, maybe you’re thinking of George Sanders in that one?

Side note: there’s at least one bar in Frankfurt with the name “Dorian Gray” and several places with Oscar Wilde names/themes. These are typically, although I don’t believe exclusively, gay bars. 🙂

Nuh uh. I mean, no, it wasn’t the really good one with Richard Chamberlain, but it _was_ in theaters.

Sorry, I stopped in 1960 at [this one](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0217090/). Kind of uninspired when they came to casting him as Richilieu a second time. 🙂

Gene Kelly played D’Artagnan and got top billing in the 1948 version. Maximillian Schell was D’Artagnan in the 1960 version, but top billing went to John Colicos as Porthos.

The late **Thurl Ravenscroft** had an uncredited appearance in that film as one of the Mellomen.
