The Count of Monte Cristo (French: Le comte de Monte Cristo) is a 1943 French-Italian historical drama film directed by Robert Vernay with Ferruccio Cerio as the supervising director.

Based on the classic 1844 novel Le Comte de Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas père, this two-part film stars Pierre Richard-Willm in the title role.

The film's sets were designed by the art director René Renoux.

As a result of this imprudence, committed to respect the will of his predecessor, he falls victim to a plot hatched by the sailor Caderousse, by the officer Fernand Mondego (later Count de Morcerf), in love with Mercédès, Dantès's fiancée, and by the magistrate Gérard de Villefort (who fears to be compromised by the ultra-Bonapartist activities of his father, General Noirtier).
