The Man in the Iron Mask (1939)	comment	The Man in the Iron Mask is a swashbuckler film that was released by United Artists in 1939. It is based loosely on Alexandre Dumas' novel The Vicomte de Bragelonne, using its characters — Louis, Philippe, D'Artagnan, Athos, Porthos, Aramis, Nicolas Fouquet, Jean-Baptiste Colbert, Louise de La Valliere — and allusion to the Man in the Iron Mask legend but for a very different storyline. Nevertheless, later screen adaptations would use the tropes of this production more than the novel: Louis the villain and Philippe the hero, the Musketeers getting a heroic sendoff, etc. Produced by Edward Small and directed by James Whale (with a screenplay by George Bruce), the film stars Louis Hayward (in the dual role of the twin brothers), Joseph Schildkraut, Joan Bennett, Walter Kingsford, and Warren Williams, Bert Roach, Alan Hale Sr., and Miles Mander as the Four Musketeers.France 1638. Louis XIII's joy of the birth of an heir to the throne is lessened when he learns the Queen had given birth to twin sons. Foreseeing the possibility of Civil War by ambitious men using the two sons against each other for supremacy, Minister Colbert persuades the King to give one of his sons to his friend D'Artagnan who will keep the child in hiding, ignorant of his birthright.Twenty years pass. Philippe, the son spirited away, has grown into a good, heroic figure thanks to D'Artagnan and his Musketeer friends Athos, Porthos, and Aramis. Meanwhile, the son left to Royalty grows up to be King Louis XIV, a spoiled, cruel tyrant who makes the populace suffer under taxes and punishments. Fouquet, his self-seeking Minister of Finance, has Philippe and the Musketeers arrested and taken to the capital to be imprisoned. Certain situations force Louis and Fouquet to use Philippe to masquerade as the King. For the protection of his imprisoned father-figures, Philippe complies. This includes evading assassination attempts by the persecuted people and spending time with (and falling for) Louis' future bride Maria Theresa of Spain. Once the truth about Phiippe's birthright comes out, Louis decides to permanently imprison his twin brother, locking his features away in an Iron Mask, to be worn forever.However, the newly-released Four Musketeers have something to say about that...George Bruce’s adaptation would be later remade into The Fifth Musketeer, a German-Austrian film released by Columbia Pictures in 1979. It was directed by Ken Annakin and starred Beau Bridges (as the twin brothers), Sylvia Kristel, Ursula Andress, Rex Harrison, Ian McShane, Olivia de Havilland, and Cornel Wilde, José Ferrer, Alan Hale Jr., and Lloyd Bridges as the Four Musketeers.

In the 1939 version, Colbert implies the fate of the physician and midwife who witnessed the birth of the other son: In the 1979 version, the Company of soldiers sent to arrest Philippe and the Four Muskteers are secretly executed.

Because of this, Philippe learns his birthright, subsequently causing the fall of Louis and Fouquet. This could have all been avoided if Fouquet left them alone.

He then takes him to a cell to present him Philippe in the Iron Mask to show off how all his plans to use the twin have come to ruin. What Fouquet doesn’t know is that the Musketeers have pulled a switcheroo: the Man in the Iron Mask claiming to be the King- and whom Fouquet orders to be whipped- is ACTUALLY Louis! Colbert suspects this and decides to play along, cursing Fouquet and the King.
