“Swashbuckler Douglas Fairbanks leads a stellar cast in Allan Dwan’s spirited sequel to THE THREE MUSKETEERS. The true king of France is kidnapped and imprisoned, his identity hidden by an iron mask while his evil twin takes the throne. D’Artagnan to the rescue! A glorious farewell to the silent era, the film has short sound segments. Fairbanks talks!” – San Francisco Silent Film Festival
Presented with support from The Ada Katz Fund for Literature in Film
Reviews
“Dwan’s deft, understated way with action sequences meshes perfectly with Fairbanks’s lighthearted, light-footed acrobatics.”
