This has always been my favorite Douglas Fairbanks feature as well as one of my favorite silent films. It has everything. Comedy! Drama! Spectacle! Adventure! Pathos! And in this new restoration grand sweeping music from the John Williams of the silent film score, Carl Davis. Douglas Fairbanks stars in his last silent film as D'Artagnan, the fabled member of the Three Musketeers, who must reunite his friends to rescue his girlfriend and save the true King of France. This adaptation from the Alexander Dumas stories of "The Three Musketeers" and "The Man in the Iron Mask" was a sequel to Fairbanks' 1921 vehicle "The Three Musketeers". . A fitting end to Doug's silent film career and to silent film itself as by the time this came out sound was here to stay and an art form that was born, developed and refined within the space of only 30 years perished. Of the many film adaptations of THE MAN IN THE IRON MASK, this one remains the most compelling. The DVD is an an absolute must for the silent film or Douglas Fairbanks buff and an ideal introduction to the art of the silent film for those not familiar with it. Great for kids too.Read full review
