Dumas got the idea for The Count of Monte Cristo from a true story, which he found in a memoir written by a man named Jacques Peuchet. Peuchet related the story of a shoemaker named Pierre Picaud, who was living in Paris in 1807. Picaud was engaged to marry a rich woman, but four jealous friends falsely accused him of being a spy for England. He was imprisoned for seven years. During his imprisonment a dying fellow prisoner bequeathed him a treasure hidden in Milan. When Picaud was released in 1814, he took possession of the treasure, returned under another name to Paris and spent ten years plotting his successful revenge against his former friends.

Just caught Sleepers again last night on cable with Deniro, Pitt, Hoffman, from back in 1996. In it, the count was a recurring theme, and an inspiration for one of the kids while he was in juvie.BaDoink

Bravo made a version of "The Count of Monte Cristo" a few years back that was fucking amazing. It was hours and hours long and broken into quite a few parts, but it was so damn great. Gérard Depardieu played the count, and even though he's kind of a douche, he did a surprisingly decent job. Ornella Muti was also in it, and holy shit did she look hot.
Definitely watch this version if you haven't seen it before.Comment
