Jelisije J A decent television film that offers the most straight forward vanilla take of The Man in the iron Mask. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/30/24 Full Review Audience Member Richard Chamberlain made a slew of made for TV movies in the 70's. This is a very average production, but has a strong supporting cast including Ian Holm (Bilbo) and Jenny Agutter, who for a change opts to keep her clothes on!
