The Iron Mask Movie Review 1929

Early swashbuckling extravaganza with a master swordsman defending the French king from a scheme involving substitution by a lookalike. Still fairly exciting, thanks largely to director Dwan's flair. Based on Alexandre Dumas's "Three Musketeers" and "The Man in the Iron Mask" with talking sequences.
