Excellent tv movie, well made
By Steve from Yorkshire England , 12 Dec 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
Alexandre Dumas Pere would NOT be turning in his grave with this excellent film, even though it is a tv movie, it out does with the Leonardo DiCaprio 1998 version. The superbly played cast of the film with Richard Chamberlain playing the twin brother?s King Louis XIV/Philippe so well, one nice and the other not so nice, and not forgetting the beautiful charms of Jenny Agutter, but another great performer is Patrick McHoogan, giving his best, as the Conniving Fouquet
This is one of those films where NO special effects and NO explosions, makes for a decent film.
At the end, it does make you think if there was ever the possibilities of another brother?- Was this review helpful to you?

(4)The Man in the Iron Mask
By NICKJOJO (255 reviews) from Surrey , 25 Nov 2010Still good entertainment albeit quite dated now. Patrick McGoohan looks like he just walked off the Prisoner set, Richard Chamberlin still is in Thornbirds mode and Jenny Agutter tried to puff up steam from her past but all managed to make it okay, just enjoy it as a film not Oscar nomination material.- Was this review helpful to you?

A real vintage
By Ned0 from W.Yorks , 30 Jun 2004A great, literate adaptation of the classic novel from ITC pictures. The title role(s) taken ably by Richard Chamberlain and the villain's role played with marvelous aplomb by No6 himself, Patrick McGoohan.
This film relies more on great acting, sets and story than on the swashbuckling elements that some versions rely more heavily on.
However, it rolls along at a great pace and never descends into cheese. A great old classic.- Was this review helpful to you?
