The Man in the Iron Mask

Another Dwight Frye cameo in a James Whale film -- this time it's "The Man in the Iron Mask."

The beginning part was kept in because spoiled princesses in jail are hilarious; it was also kept in, so that the tin plate talking didn't come out of nowhere, so no Dwight until about four minutes in.

And that man was nowhere near the most handsome man at the wedding. How I love sycophants.

Clearly this is a capture from TV (yay! again I remembered to tape), though my video capture thing doesn't usually put in those annoying static lines at the top and bottom.

Another movie that sooo needs to be released on DVD.

The man in the iron mask was held prisoner for 34 years and it was not a iron mask but a black velvet mask to this day his true identity is still unknown

Re Dwight Frye as the Valet for "His Excellency"-

Someone needs to dub this scene with the audio from the "You Mock Me" SNL skit.

There are so many James Whale films unavailable on DVD its inexplicable! In between "Frankenstein" and "Bride of Frankenstein" he made a film called "One More River," which is considered his masterpiece by many but impossible to find. I've never seen "Iron Mask" in its entirety but it's a real shame it's not on DVD (along with a dozen other Whale movies that should).

i remember a joke in this film that always made me laugh. one of the musketeers commented phillip swordsmanship"... second only to one man, to whoom i am too modest to mention his name!"

Is there any kind of role that Dwight *can't* do? He's always so very different in each role he plays in. It's amazing!

Frilly clothes! :D
