The Return of the Musketeers

The Return of the Musketeers is a 1989 film adaptation loosely based on the novel Twenty Years After (1845) by Alexandre Dumas. It is the third Musketeers film directed by Richard Lester, following 1973's The Three Musketeers and 1974's The Four Musketeers. Like the previous two films, the screenplay was written by George MacDonald Fraser.

It stars Michael York, Oliver Reed, Frank Finlay (reprising their roles), C. Thomas Howell and Kim Cattrall. Richard Chamberlain returns in a special appearance. Geraldine Chaplin, Roy Kinnear and Christopher Lee also reprise their roles. The character of Mordaunt, Milady de Winter's son in the original novel, is replaced by Milady's daughter, Justine de Winter (Catrall's character). Jean-Pierre Cassel, who played Louis XIII in the original films, has a cameo appearance as Cyrano de Bergerac.

While filming in September 1988, character actor Roy Kinnear died following an on-camera accident in which he fell off a horse.
