The highly intelligent man teaches Edmond languages, natural sciences, religion and lots more. When Abbe dies, Edmond is able to escape the fortress-prison by having himself sewn into the shroud of his friend. But beforehand, Abbe revealed to him the location of a secret treasure on the island of Monte Christo. Edmond is able to make it to the island and find the hidden wealth.

Best adaptation of Monte Cristo, now with English subtitles!, 4/30/2021 6:32 PM
From: humanracer
This is the only place to find the classic 1954 Robert Vernay adaptation of Monte Cristo with Jean Marais iin an English version. The subtitles are not system generated like you see on Youtube etc. This has been manually translated and is very good. The 1954 version has sadly never been restored and no blu ray exists (or even a French DVD version) but this German 16 mm print is good quality.
