The Man in the Iron Mask poster

Norman Rosemont Productions
Starring:
 Richard Chamberlain, Louis Jourdan
Directed by: Mike Newell

Synopsis: A man named Phillipe (Richard Chamberlain) wonders why he is persecuted, not realizing that he is the surviving twin brother of Louis XIV who wants him out of the way.

Purr Blur: Phillipe is aided by the musketeer D’Artagnan (Louis Jourdan) and trained in the ways of royalty in order to take the King’s place. D’Artagnan teaches Phillipe the names of all the royal family and how to swordfight and dance. In a montage scene a rather disinterested cat is sitting in front of the two men as they practice dance steps.

Final Mewsings: Cats don’t dance and don’t really like watching dancing, either.
