The Count of Monte Cristo is a 1958 American television film directed by Sidney Lumet and produced by David Susskind based on the novel The Count of Monte Cristo. It aired as an episode of the DuPont Show of the Month.
Variety called it "a well told adventure story for both children and adults, produced with taste and flair. The somewhat thick performances lent the - live-on-videotape production a sense of the swashbuckling; which was all to the good... camera direction was excellent."[1]
John Crosby in the Sacramento Bee wrote he was expecting to be bored "and wound up having an absolutely wonderful time."[2]
