The Count of Monte Cristo (Le comte de Monte-Cristo) is a 1979 French 5-part (4-part in DVD release) mini series adapted from the famous novel by Alexandre Dumas, directed by Denys de La Patellière and starring Jacques Weber. This version is known to be the most true to the original book.
This page is for the 1979 French mini-series starring Jacques Weber. For the 1954 French film starring Jean Marais, see here. For the 1961 French-Italian film starring Louis Jourdan, see here. For the 1975 British film starring Richard Chamberlain, see here. For the 1998 French miniseries starring Gerard Depardieu, see here. For the 2002 English-language film starring James Caviezel, see here.
The following weapons were used in the miniseries The Count of Monte Cristo:
Pistols
Percussion Cap Pistol
In the scene when Mr. Morel (Paulo Renato), the shipowner from Marseille, is ruined and is going to commit suicide, he takes a Percussion Cap Pistol from a drawer. This is some compact civilian model. Morel's son Maximilien (Diogo Dória) holds a percussion cap pistol when he gets news that his belowed woman is dead. Several of the Roman brigands carry pistols when they kidnap Danglars. The locks aren't seen clear but these are probably also percussion cap guns.
Percussion Dueling Pistol
Count of Monte-Cristo (Jacques Weber) trains with Percussion Dueling Pistols in several scenes.
Muskets
Flintlock Musket
When Edmond Dantès (Jacques Weber) embarks on the Island of Monte Cristo in 1829, he is armed with a Flintlock Musket.
Percussion Cap Musket
Anachronistic percussion cap muskets are seen in several scenes. There are definitly several models that differ in stocks and muzzle caps, but the exact models hardly can be identified.
Kabyle Musket
A Kabyle Musket is seen on the wall in Count de Morcerf's house.
