Sitting on the sofà with Mr. P. and Sam, watching Montecristo movie on tv, eating pop corn, mini-pizzas and drinking corona beer...how much I love this Saturday night..

Do you mean The Count of Monte Cristo (2002)?

 

[MypinchofItaly]

Do you mean The Count of Monte Cristo (2002)?

Yes!

 

[Morning Glory]

Yes!

OK - I just got confused because @Francesca mentioned it was shot in Marseilles. The 2002 movie was shot in Malta and Ireland I believe.

The Castle in the film, the original film 1934, with Robert Donat as the leading actor and Louis Calhern and Elissa Landi and though I saw the re-make, it is not quite the same as the original Silver Screen Classic and the original was made in the Usa however, the castle is Sant François in Marseille ..

With a quick search. The Silver Screen Original 1934 is in black and white and simply amazing ..

This morning we went for a walk to Alpe di Lemna (Como- mountain area) and while we was walking I've seen this! A cookingbites sign?

Phenomenal photograph ..

@ElizabethB

There are uncountable versions of this film in French too !! And all with Sant François Castle in them ..

The book was written in the mid 1800s !!! It is quite an amazing historical novel ..
