The Count of Monte Cristo

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.

This production, originally released in 1956, has captivated audiences with its unique storytelling. As a Scripted series, it brings a fresh perspective to the Drama, Action & Adventure genre, maintaining a strong viewer rating of 4.4 across its 2 seasons.
