Alan Hale, Jr. plays Porthos, the same musketeer played by his father Alan Hale in The Man in the Iron Mask (1939), of which this movie is a direct remake, the earlier movie's screenplay is credited along with the Dumas novel as source material. Furthermore, in At Sword's Point (1952), a Hollywood-concocted sequel to Dumas' novel "The Three Musketeers", Hale played the son of Porthos, while this movie's D'Artagnan, Cornel Wilde, had the role of D'Artagnan's son.
Cornel Wilde, veteran fencer and actor in this movie, commented on the action scenes and noted: "Actually, they represent some of the most exciting scenes in which I have ever appeared."
The movie marked Alan Hale, Jr.'s third and final portrayal of Porthos in a movie after inheriting the role from his father, Alan Hale, who had originated the merry character in The Man in the Iron Mask (1939). Hale, Jr. played Porthos, Jr. in At Sword's Point (1952), and then portrayed Porthos for the second time in Lady in the Iron Mask (1952).
