At Sword's Point, also known as Sons of the Three Musketeers, is a 1952 American historical action adventure film directed by Lewis Allen and starring Cornel Wilde and Maureen O'Hara. It was shot in Technicolor by RKO Radio Pictures. The film was completed in 1949 but was not released until 1952.

Production

In 1947, Republic Pictures announced the purchase of the script Sons of the Musketeers by Aubrey Wisberg and Jack Pollexfen. Eagle Lion also announced a film titled Sons of the Musketeers, a concern for MGM, which was planning the 1948 film The Three Musketeers. Eventually the project went to RKO where it was devised as a vehicle for Cornel Wilde. Lewis Allen was announced as director on November 15, 1949. Filming began on December 14, 1949.

MGM experienced difficulties depicting Cardinal Richelieu in The Three Musketeers, so the filmmakers decided to not include Cardinal Mazarin in At Sword's Point, although the character appears in the original script.

Porthos is played by Moroni Olsen, who played the same character in the 1935 film of the original 1844 Alexandre Dumas novel The Three Musketeers. Alan Hale Jr., who plays the son of Porthos, was the son of Alan Hale Sr., who appeared in The Man in the Iron Mask (1939) as an aging Porthos.

In The Fifth Musketeer (1979), which retells the story of The Man in the Iron Mask, two of the young musketeers from At Sword's Point reappear in the roles of their own fathers: Wilde stars as D'Artagnan and Hale Jr. as Porthos.
