About The Wife of Monte Cristo
In this sequel to the original story, Monte Cristo count Edmund Dantes (Martin Kosleck) returns to Paris to get revenge but soon finds himself pursued by a cruel policeman. The count's brave wife Haydée throws the cop off her husband's scent by dressing up as the masked avenger herself and proving that she too is most competent with a sword.
Directed by Edgar G. Ulmer, The Wife of Monte Cristo leans on a strong ensemble — John Loder, Lenore Aubert, Martin Kosleck — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about romance titles of 1946.
