The title character is Philippe (Richard Chamberlain), claimant to the throne of France. Supporters of Philippe's vile twin brother, King Louis XIV (also Chamberlain), kidnap Philippe, lock him in a dungeon, and obscure his identity with an iron mask. But aging D'Artagnan (Louis Jourdan), who'd virtually raised Philippe from boyhood, reunites his old musketeer cohorts to rescue Philippe, overthrow the wicked Louis, and place the "rightful heir" on the throne. Emmy nominations went to scripter William Bast and costumer Olga Lehmann. Photographed by the great Freddie Young, Man in the Iron Mask was first telecast January 17, 1977 ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    A made for TV production, and it shows; the photography is very static and dreary by today's standards. It is bolstered however by a strong cast of British stalwarts.

    I haven't seen this for so long-need to re-watch. FYI< this is the one with Richard Chamberlain and it says it's rated "R" but it's not. On my "In Another Century" list.

    This is the movie that inspired Steve Harris to name his band 'Iron Maiden'. Any movie like that deserves and Oscar!

    Okay, But It Kinda Gave Me The Creeps, Not Sure Why. Maybe it's All About The Guy In The Mask. It's A Little Creepy, Sorta.

    This is an old favorite of mine, because Leo plays both parts (twin brothers) so well, you forget its the same person -awesome twist at the end
