The scene between Richard Chamberlain and McGoohan in the coach was superb and only topped by the sequence of Chamberlain being fitted with his mask as McGoohan regards him like a cat does, its victimised mouse.Gérard Xavier Marcel Depardieu, CQ ( UK: / ˈ d ɛ p ɑːr d j ɜː, ˌ d ɛ p ɑːr ˈ d j ɜː/, US: /- ˈ d j ʌ, ˌ d eɪ p ɑːr ˈ dj uː/, French: ( listen) born 27 December 1948) is a French actor, known to be one of the most prolific in film history.
For me, the first half of the production was by far superior. His clipped, calculating tones were brilliant as the scheming Fouquet. I knew things were going to be good when he made no attempt at one of those dodgy accents he is prone to. Could he really have been so rude to his wife in public? It was so outrageous that 'you couldn't make it up'! So it must be true! The main attraction was of course McGoohan and he did not disappoint. The scenes of the Sun Kings' soirées at his châteaux were splendidly staged and, one can only hope, historically accurate. McGoohan is Number 2 to Chamberlain's Number 6 (Moor-Larkin): I had never read Dumas' novel, or made it through any filmed versions before, so only had the vaguest notion of what the story was about.
