Reviews

Richard Chamberlain heads an internationally famed cast in this extravagant and beautifully compelling production of the Alexandre Dumas classic. In a tour de force of great acting Chamberlain plays the dual role of the imprisoned man in the hideous iron mask and his foppish, elegant twin brother, King Louis XIV of France. Chamberlain's performance, supported by an all-star cast, sweeps the story of high-adventure and romance to new heights. Lavishly filmed at historic locations in France, The Man In The Iron Mask is gripping, fast-moving, magnificent entertainment for the whole family.

4.0 out of 5 stars 5 stars if it had subtitles 1 April 2008
By J
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This was the 1970's TV version, and all the better for that in my opinion - stunning sets and costumes, some lovely music, and good solid acting: Richard Chamberlain does a great job in the dual role, and there are fine performances from Jenny Agutter, Ian Holm, Vivien Merchant and Brenda Bruce. Patrick McGoohan is rather a "Boo and Hiss" pantomime baddie, but that just adds to the pleasure of seeing him come to grief. This DVD is visually very good, but I was disappointed not to have subtitles.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great movie - shame about the extra features. 30 Sep 2000
Format:DVD
Richard Chamberlain's tour de force efforts in two roles receives its first airing on DVD - and fans won't be disappointed.

However, it would have been great if a few extra features had been added, for example movie trailers (it was a TV movie in the States but had a theatrical release in Europe), or a director's commentary.

That aside, The Man in the Iron Mask remains one of the best adaptations of Alexandre Dumas's work.

Special mention should also go to co-stars Patrick McGoohan (a delightful baddie), Ralph Richardson and a very young Denis Lawson for their excellent performances.

5.0 out of 5 stars Di Capricio eat your heart out
This is certainly the best of the Iron Mask movies. Richard Chamberlain is great and playing duel roles makes it even better. The prequels to the sequels are often the best.

5.0 out of 5 stars Favorite version of The Man In The Iron Mask
Years ago I taped this version from TV. Own the version with Leonardo DiCaprio and other great actors but I prefer Richard Chamberlain. I so fondly remember Dr. Kildare!

Richard Chamberlin appearing in a latter installment of the Dumas saga but not as Aramis? but as the King and the man in the iron mask. Pray tell me where is the sense in that. Read more
