The Count of Monte Cristo / Man Friday

First, "The Count of Monte Cristo" is a grand treatment of the Dumas classic. Richard Chamberlain stars as Edmond Dantes, who escapes from a jail cell after 14 years to claim the woman he loves and avenge himself upon the enemies who had him unjustly imprisoned. With Tony Curtis, Kate Nelligan, Louis Jourdan, and Trevor Howard. And, the tale of Robinson Crusoe gets a wicked reworking in the humor-laced adventure saga "Man Friday." Peter O'Toole stars as the British castaway stranded on a South Seas island, with Richard Roundtree as the native who becomes his manservant and, later, his master. 3 1/2 hrs. total. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English. Two-disc set.
