Cheap Chinese Xfer to DVD
Added 1/3/2010
While the VHS video was not perfect, its darkness was penetrable. This DVD is blurry in sections, and when you first get it, the chinese subtitles are "on" so you have to work through the chinese-labeled menu choices until you find the "off" key. (Unless, of course, you can read Chinese!) The film itself, however, is intact and worth buying for a library. Richard Chamberlain carries off the dual role of King and Pretender better than any other actor has to date. Patrick McGoohan is witty and wonderful, and Louis Jourdan his inevitable mercurial performer. Authentic feelings to the sets, good editing and dialogue plus crisp direction overcome a few poor sound recordings to deliver a thoroughly memorable film.

The Man in the Iron Mask - Richard Chamberlain
Added 10/12/2009
This film is very loosely based on Alexander Duma's tale. If you've seen any other film version, the ending is about the same--none of the films use Duma's ending. The acting is adequate and Jenny Agutter is beautiful.
