The Treasure of Monte Cristo is a 1961 British film directed by Monty Berman and Robert S. Baker.[1]
The film features Rory Calhoun as an army captain in 1815 who goes off in search of a treasure on the island of Monte Cristo.[2] It is a prequel to Alexandre Dumas' 1844 novel The Count of Monte Cristo.
