Sequel to the time honored classic The Three Musketeers, The Iron Mask sees the daring trio return to their swashbuckling adventures. One of the greatest silent film productions, filled with glorious costumes, sets, and scenery, The Iron Mask keeps a brisk but even pace as the heroes wrap up loose ends from the previous picture and proceed to new adventures. Louis XIV has been imprisoned in a dungeon and his head locked in an iron mask. The reason is that his twin brother sits on the throne, and no one must know the true king is incarcerated beneath the palace. Taut, bustling, and chivalrous, The Iron Mask is a worthy adventure.
