The Count of Monte Cristo (1956)
The Count of Monte Cristo was a 1956 ITC Entertainment/TPA television series adapted very loosely from the novel by Alexandre Dumas, adapted by Sidney Marshall. It premiered in the UK in early 1956 and ran for 39 thirty-minute episodes. The first twelve episodes were filmed in the United States, at the Hal Roach studios, with the rest being filmed at ITC's traditional home of Elstree.
A 5-disc DVD set containing all thirty-nine episodes was released by Network Studio on 12 April 2010.
ITC produced a film based on the same source-material, The Count of Monte-Cristo, in 1975.
