The Iron Mask (1929)

by Ted Davis

Directed by: Allan Dwan

Synopsis: Former musketeers D’Artagnan (Douglas Fairbanks), Athos (Leon Barry), Aramis (Gino Corrado) and Porthos (Stanley J. Sandford) reunite for a last adventure to restore the throne to the rightful king of France (William Bakewell), who has been kidnapped through the devilish machinations of the treacherous Count de Rochefort (Ullrich Haupt), and supplanted with his vile younger twin brother (William Bakewell).

Purr Blurs: Three kittens can be glimpsed enjoying themselves on the spacious desk of Cardinal Richelieu (Nigel de Brulier) as he receives a report from one of his underlings. Richelieu is holding one of the kittens in his lap and a second one jumps down into the lap as well.

Receiving urgent news, Richelieu returns the kittens to the desk and exits with the man.

Final Mewsings: The Cardinal must have been a true genius to manipulate the destiny of France with a jumble of kitties in his office.
