Richard Chamberlain - The Man in the Iron Mask

The story of Louis XIV of France and his attempts to keep his identical twin brother Philippe imprisoned away from sight and knowledge of the public, and Philippe's rescue by the aging Musketeers, led by D'Artagnan.


Richard Chamberlain had already proved himself a fine actor before starring in this TV production of "The Man in the Iron Mask," but here he truly gives the performance of a lifetime. Performances, I should say, because he plays two different (VERY different) roles: King Louis XIV and his long lost twin brother, Phillippe.

I prefer this version over the one with Leonardo DiCaprio. I also loved Casanova and Shogun. Chamberlin was a wonderful actor.

Richard used to come to my Caswell-Massey Store in Beverly Hills in l980's

He was always so pleasant. One morning he was waiting outside the store as I arrived and it was his birthday. Great man and actor. Great memories. Marianne Ward

@merryheart7 Alexandre Dumas pere wrote The Man in the Iron Mask in 1848 and 'coincidentally' in the same year The Society of Gesu(Jesuits) were expelled from France for the second time. Alexandre Dumas pere was born near Paris in 1802 and 'coincidentally' in 1902 The Society of Jesu(Jesuits) were expelled from France for the third and last time. The Society of Jesus(Jesuits) have been expelled from 83 countries and their pope is ARAMIS AND HE IS THE COUNT OF MONTE CHRISTO(GENERAL OF THE JESUITS

One of my favorite movie!

Well, I've just finished reading the Dumas novel. It's a great yarn, but is heavy going. The main thing is that the film storyline is so different from the book, that it may as well be from another author. Why on earth can't film makers stick to the original plot? I used to love this film (still do) but now that I've read the book................
