This film has so many improbable plot lines and actions they can hardly be counted. I do think the title was chosen because of the popularity of the swashbuckling movies at the time, it has little to do with its title, except for its forced ending. It barely qualifies as Film Noir. Some, but not much light and shadow. The real value of this film is the street scenes of San Francisco in the late '40's. Having said all that, I must admit I enjoyed this movie. It totally kept my attention. It held the title 'Treasure of Monte Cristo' , in front of me like a gold carrot that I wanted to follow to the end. If your a fan of Adele Jergens you'll enjoy her performance here. Glenn Langan holds the entire film together giving a fine and excellent low key performance.. Some wise guy will probably say I'm the ass behind the gold carrot, but that's OK. I love the tough talk in those films. film together

Thank you, CCC. I love classic movies and I subscribed to your channel tonight when I found this movie. Please understand that any criticism I have for a movie does not reflect on this channel because you are presenting us with the old movies which we love, even the bad ones. Treasure of Monte Cristo is definitely a dud and has all the appearance of a rushed low budget effort from a studio (Lippert Pictures) known for cheap movies with no star attractions. The director, William Berke, even tried to get a job at Columbia which were next door.
