The Count of Monte-Cristo (1975) (TV)
A TV adaptation of the classic Alexandre Dumas
novel. Edmond Dantes is falsely accused by those
jealous of his good fortune, and is sentenced to
spend the rest of his life in the notorious island
prison, Chateau d'If. While imprisoned, he meets the
Abbe Faria, a fellow prisoner whom everyone
believes to be mad. The Abbe tells Edmond of a
fantastic treasure hidden away on a tiny island, that
only he knows the location of. After many years in
prison, the old Abbe dies, and Edmond escapes
disguised as the dead body. Now free, Edmond must
find the treasure the Abbe told him of, so he can use
the new-found wealth to exact revenge on those who
have wronged him.
