“The Son of Monte Cristo” is a 1940 black-and-white film directed by Rowland V. Lee. In 1865, General Gurko Lanen is dictator of “Lichtenburg” in the Balkans. The rightful ruler, Grand Duchess Zona, hopes to get aid from Napoleon III of France. The visiting Count of Monte Cristo falls for Zona and undertakes to help her, masquerading as a foppish banker and a masked freedom fighter. The rest is rapid-fire intrigue and derring-do.
The film takes the same name as the unofficial sequel to “The Count of Monte Cristo”, namely “The Son of Monte Cristo”, written by Jules Lermina in 1881.

"okay here it goes time for the marriage proposal "
Wonderful film.
Black and white ? yea I’m leaving
Nothing whatsoever to do with the original Count. It's a very nice film but maybe they just could've given the Count his own name and named the film (and the book it came from) something else. It's a good story in its own right without having to ride on the original Count.
Joan Bennett ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you I'm enjoying all these old classics cheers from Canada
Anyone else had subtitles in this movie
I
Love George Sanders
Would love to see The Count of Monte Cristo, the one which started this all off, which I just now finished watching on TCM today
ty
The great and wonderful film.
So he shares his fathers name Edmond Dantes? and who was his mother, are we to assume that the original Monte Cristo got bake together with Mercedes?
It's a shame that the phenomenal Dwight Frye does not appear in this film until the last 16 mins, and when he does, it's only for a few fleeting seconds. Oh, well, he is ALWAYS worth waiting for in ANY movie.
Joan Bennett, AKA Elizabeth Collins Stoddard of Collinwood. "Dark Shadows". She was a hot looking tomato in her day.
The son of Monte Christo .I thought I clicked on the Jimmy Dore show, but this looks interesting and the video description got me hooked
amazing cast.
What is the name of the town in France they got to? Petch?? I can't figure it out 🙁
they could have at least had an epic duel like robin hood 1938 and mark of zorro 1940,hayward is no errol Flynn or tyrone power.love sanders voice though!
Not a particularly good movie, but what do I care when it has the exquisite Joan Bennett and Louis Hayward and George Sanders and the redoubtable Florence Bates.
Did you see the Lone ranger in uniform? He said, guards fall in after the fight,
I remember this movie. Thanks
PREAPTURE MKULTRACIAMIBDIRECTOR CAN STAY DEAN K FREE KEEP THE UNDERCOVER IN AND TAKE THEM DOWN FOR THAT BACK THEN HIGH TREASON THEY DID AND KIRTLAND ALIEON KIDNAP
George Sanders was FANTASTIC in this film. It is in this movie that he became my personal favorite actor. I love "elegant villains". LOL
"Oh the most beautiful woman I've ever seen…"
Seriously, where has this actor been all my life? I could listen to his voice all day, hehe. Joan Bennett does a lovely job as well, you really feel her pain when she thinks he lied to her.
Now that I think about it, I preferred George Sanders as The Saint. He was terrific in those old films, long before Roger Moore did the TV series.
I remember seeing this film several times. Though I always liked Louis Hayward, it was always Clayton Moore that was my favorite in this film. George Sanders had a plum role, of course. I've always enjoyed him too.
Return Of The Son Of The Count Of Monte Crisco's Sister's Butler!
Great movie. Would of loved to see Errol Flynn or Ronald Coleman in this one.
Oops! I notice at video counter number 0:12:01 in the hotel this video of the lady smoking but has been censored/altered, yet vaguely still we can see the smoke from her cigarette and still see the cigarette in her right hand but afterwards its gone. Notice the lady is smoking but that part of the video has been cleaned. If this is a German/European made movie that was normal in those days. You know in NAZI Germany Ladies didn't smoke. Sound familiar? It should. The NAZI censored many of these movies during their murderous reign (NWO). You could murder by the millions but oh no! can't have that smoking in the boys/girls room. Sound familiar? it should.
Now back to the show…enjoy!
respectfully
enjoyed it…thanks…yes… always interesting to see Clayton Moore in other roles.
Very enjoyable…thanks !
