United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), WIDESCREEN (1.78:1), SPECIAL FEATURES: Interactive Menu, Photo Gallery, Scene Access, Trailer(s), SYNOPSIS: The Man in the Iron Mask was, at the very least, the twelfth film version of Alexandre Dumas' 1847 novel. The title character is Philippe (Richard Chamberlain), rightful heir to the throne of France. Enemies of Philippe's twin brother, King Louis XIV (also Chamberlain) plot to kidnap the monarch, lock him in a dungeon, and obscure his identity with an iron mask. But aging musketeer D'Artagnan (Louis Jourdan), who'd virtually raised Louis from boyhood, reunites his old musketeer cohorts to rescue Louis and overthrow the wicked Philippe.

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.

I saw this film years ago and really emjoyed it, I think it is the best version of this story
Richard Chamberlain is great in this role,it is better than the re-make with Leonnardo Di Caprio,
would recommend this film to everyone.

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!
