The film was likely derived from Alexandre Dumas's novel The Three Musketeers,[2] and is an early example of costume drama in French cinema.[3] Méliès appeared in the film; a production still survives at the Cinémathèque Française that shows him at the far left.[4]
The film was sold by Méliès's Star Film Company and is numbered 460–461 in its catalogues. It is currently presumed lost.[1]
