An appealing cast of film veterans makes this 1977 action-adventure version of Alexandre Dumas's The Man In the Iron Mask particularly watchable. Lloyd Bridges co-stars as swordsman Aramis, one of several Musketeer tutors of young and brave Phillippe (Beau Bridges, Lloyd's son), who doesn't know he's the identical twin brother of King Louis XIV. Captured by Louis, his features briefly disguised by an uncomfortable iron mask, Phillippe is forced to play his villainous sibling in an assassination scenario designed to fool France into believing its mad emperor is dead. Phillippe, however, turns the tables, and with the aid of Aramis, Athos (Jose Ferrer), Porthos (Alan Hale Jr.), and D'Artagnan (Cornel Wilde), makes a bold attempt to take his country's destiny in hand. Also on view are Rex Harrison, Ursula Andress, and Olivia DeHavilland; the star wattage and attractive settings compensate somewhat for director Ken Annakin's stiff and unimaginative direction. --Tom Keogh

Since I was a kid, some 50 years ago, I am fascinated by the Alexandre Dumas stories about the Musketeers. First by reading the books and later by watching the movies. The 5th musketeer is well filmed and the story is very captivating though somewhat different from the book "The man with the iron mask". I am still waiting for a DVD of the movie "The return of the musketeers" (1989).

It's frankly beyond me why the so-called "uncensored" version has never been released in the U.S., even with this new DVD version. I have seen the full-length version on Region 2 DVD (readily available for anyone with a DVD player capable of running Region 2 discs), and, as other reviewers have noted, the "juicy" scenes truly don't have anything that would be particularly shocking in this day and age. (If one considers the sight of the beauteous Ursula Andress and Sylvia Kristel in the nude to be ... Read More

Just look at the cast for this fun and entertaining adaptation of "The Man in the Iron Mask" story. Not only do we have Beau and Lloyd Bridges, but also Rex Harrison, Olivia De Havilland, Jose Ferrer, Cornel Wilde and Ursula Andress but there are also actors who have achieved even greater fame since this movie was released in the 1970s such as Ian McShane and Sylvia Kristal.
The Dumas story had been adapted for the screen before and since (in the weak Leonardo DiCaprio movie), but never has ... Read More

This movie is loaded with stars, Ian McShane, Ursula Andress, Beau Bridges (in the duo role) and Lloyd Bridges, Alan Hale Jr., Cornel Wilde, Rex Harrison, Olivia de Havilland and Jose Ferrer. The costumes are scrumptious and the locale work all help this movie along. It?s good to see the old 50s movie stars having one last swashbuckle! Bridges is miscast and nearly sinks the movie, and the directing is stiff, but everyone does a good turn in the old Man in the Iron Mask story. McShane seems to ... Read More

I have a copy of the full version of this movie on VHS and was looking forward to owning a copy on DVD. After receiving a copy of the DVD, I noticed the PG rating. To my dismay, I found that they had censored the 'juicy' parts of the movie. The 'juicy' parts actually portrayed the relationships between the King and his mistress and that between the future Queen and the King's twin brother. I did not find the 'juicy' parts to be offensive in any way but rather it contributed to the storyline as ... Read More
