March 29, 1974 –
The swashbuckling film, The Three Musketeers, directed by Richard Lester, and starring Michael York, Oliver Reed, Frank Finlay, Richard Chamberlain, Raquel Welch, Geraldine Chaplin, Jean-Pierre Cassel, Charlton Heston, Faye Dunaway, Christopher Lee, Simon Ward, Georges Wilson and Spike Milligan, made its U.S. debut on this date.
As a result of producers Alexander Salkind, Ilya Salkind and Michael Salkind splitting this movie into two parts, the Screen Actors’ Guild contracts now often feature what is called a “Salkind Clause“, which requires producers to state upfront how many movies are being shot, and that the actors and actresses involved must be paid for each. The latter clause applies even, or even especially, when producers make that decision during or after production.
