When I had faced some Hallmark Entertainment feature I've stay thrilled because so many finest offerings of this valuable Company, nonetheless this version of She-Musketeer doesn't drop very well to me, even has been enjoyable didn't pass on sound of ruggedness at all.
The entire storyline actually a new Musketeer generation of the original ones, even the old and powerful Cardinal name was replaced, although the main structure remains the same, a D'Artagnan (Michael York) daughter Valentine (Susie Amy) enters in the scene when France and Spain are in war whatever be the reason, the puppet King Louis (Freddie Sayers) is ruled by the evil Cardinal Mazarin (Gerard Depardieu) that holds the power at your hands and will.
The Musketeer's brotherhood are aware of the jeopardy that hangs over the France, even the Musketeer's Commander still intending intervene over the matter, withdraw Cardinal Mazarin's authority isn't not easy due the strength of church in such time, then Mazarin got a old letter that will proving that King Louis wasn't a really King, this letter was taken by the scheming Lady Bolton (Nastassja Kinski) at the behest of Cardinal Mazarin, also he has the most skilled swordsman of whole France at your service the dreaded Villeroi (Marcos Jean Pirae) nobody is the match for him, not even the Three Musketeer's sons.
In this environment of war and conspiracy the mini-series is developing, the daughter of the famous and unbeaten D'Artagnan will be a key of the hard assignment of bringing a Spanish Princess Maria-Theresa (Kristina Krepela) to marry with King Louis a kind of settlement to stop the war and make King Louis got his real duties from the hands of the crook Cardinal Mazarin that aware of all and intent to break up the accordance between France and Spain in order to keep the France's treasury at your scope, sending half of taxes to Italy, his former country, it also not so easy many unexpected happenings coming soon.
Aside some points and strong ageing leading casting with solid family humor oriented this Hallmark presentation doesn't convince the viewers, shooting at Croatia sounds a little bit cheap production, the Female Musketeer somewhat didn't hit the target, albeit far away to be deemed as bad whatsoever, glad to see it due this DVD is a hard to find in Brazil, now I'd got my original copy!!
Thanks for reading.
