First time to see Glenn Langan in a leading part. He was always a supporting actor. Always wondered why he didn't go onto major stardom. He was handsome, tall and well built. Odd how breaks never happened to some and yet others you wonder why they were ever major stars.

[@thomasgansevoort929]

This film has so many improbable plot lines and actions they can hardly be counted. I do think the title was chosen because of the popularity of the swashbuckling movies at the time, it has little to do with its title, except for its forced ending. It barely qualifies as Film Noir. Some, but not much light and shadow. The real value of this film is the street scenes of San Francisco in the late '40's. Having said all that, I must admit I enjoyed this movie. It totally kept my attention. It held the title 'Treasure of Monte Cristo' , in front of me like a gold carrot that I wanted to follow to the end. If your a fan of Adele Jergens you'll enjoy her performance here. Glenn Langan holds the entire film together giving a fine and excellent low key performance.. Some wise guy will probably say I'm the ass behind the gold carrot, but that's OK. I love the tough talk in those films. film together

[@tedbaxter5234]

Becoming a Big Fan of the tough talkin' B-girl Adele Jergens, especially her Film Noir titles. This Noir opus by R. Lippert studios is made extra fine and realistic with all the on-location Frisco shooting and use of Non-studio sets. Almost as as good as D.O.A. (49). A+++

I'm 45 and absolutely hated black and white shows back when I was young .

The writing and stories are better than this new crap put our by studios today.

[@drewsagar2634]

San Jose is the bigger city. S.F. airport & water supply are in San Mateo County. Oakland & San Jose have airports. Oakland is where most of the shipping goes. Some of it goes to other cities.

Thank you, CCC. I love classic movies and I subscribed to your channel tonight when I found this movie. Please understand that any criticism I have for a movie does not reflect on this channel because you are presenting us with the old movies which we love, even the bad ones. Treasure of Monte Cristo is definitely a dud and has all the appearance of a rushed low budget effort from a studio (Lippert Pictures) known for cheap movies with no star attractions. The director, William Berke, even tried to get a job at Columbia which were next door.

[@CultCinemaClassics]

That’s sweet of you to say, here at CCC we adore reviews… some films will be good, some films will be bad, and some films will be so good it’s bad! And we might not all agree on it, but the one thing we do agree on is our love of cinema! So keep ‘em coming… Thanks for watching 🤩😍🤩😍
