An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked French One-Panel "Grande" Movie Poster (1p; measures 47 1/2" x 62 1/2" [121 x 159 cm]) (Learn More) Le secret de Monte-Cristo (released in English-speaking countries as "The Secret of Monte Cristo"), the 1948 Albert Valentin French adventure melodrama (NOT a "rip-off" of "The Count of Monte Cristo", but actually based on the true story that Alexandre Dumas "borrowed" for his famous novel!) starring Pierre Brasseur, Pierre Larquey, Marcelle Derrien, Robert Dalban, Charles Lemontier, Georges Vitray, and Madeleine Lebeau. Note that few people are aware that the Alexandre Dumas novel, "The Count of Monte Cristo" was based on a true story. It was a man named Francois Picault, who had a beautiful fiance, and who was accused of being a spy by three jealous friends, and he was imprisoned, and he became friends with an Italian Abbot, who was quite wealthy, and when he died, he left his fortune to Picault, who used it, after his release from prison, to get revenge on those three men! Alexandre Dumas heard the story and livened it up by making it far more dramatic, with the largest fortune imaginable, and other added details, but basically, he stuck to the true story!
