The Man in the Iron Mask

A completely lost BBC1 miniseries adaptation of Alexandre Dumas' 19th century historical adventure novel of the same name. Years have passed since the Three Musketeers, Aramis, Athos and Porthos, have fought together with their friend, D'Artagnan. But with the tyrannical King Louis using his power to wreak havoc in the kingdom while his twin brother, Philippe, remains imprisoned, the Musketeers reunite to abduct Louis and replace him with Philippe.

Directed by Campbell Logan, The Man in the Iron Mask leans on a strong ensemble — Nicolas Chagrin, Noel Willman — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action & adventure titles of 1968.
