The Art Directors Guild Film Society kicks off its 75th anniversary year and 2012 film series with the Douglas Fairbanks silent classic The Iron Mask (1929). Directed by Allan Dwan, this sequel to The Three Musketeers (1921) was Fairbanks' final silent swashbuckler and is considered the last of his great successes. The single 35mm print in existence, restored by famed film historian Kevin Brownlow, will be flown in from London to be screened along with the acclaimed Carl Davis score. Preceding the feature, clips from earlier Fairbanks pictures A Modern Musketeer (1917) and The Three Musketeers will be shown, along with a big-screen presentation of Mask designer Maurice Leloir's designs, rare stills, and details from the film's restoration. Original posters and artwork from the film, as well as other memorabilia, will be on display in the lobby. A panel discussion will follow the film.

Description

The Iron Mask
1929, Photoplay Productions, 95 min, USA, Dir: Allan Dwan

Douglas Fairbanks stars as D’Artagnan in this rip-roaring adaptation of Alexandre Dumas’s series of novels. When the newly born heir to King Louis XIII’s kingdom surprisingly has a twin, the baby is smuggled away to Spain to ensure the peaceful future of France. D’Artagnan is enlisted by Cardinal Richelieu to look after the hidden prince. Many years later, after Richelieu’s death, the nefarious Rochefort kidnaps the new king and disguises him with an imposing iron mask, replacing the ruler with his twin. Can D’Artagnan save the abducted king and return the country to stability?

A panel discussion will follow the film, with guests including John Tibbetts (Fairbanks authority and professor of film at the University of Kansas), Laurence Bennett (Oscar-nominated production designer of The Artist), and Patrick Stanbury (Kevin Brownlow’s partner, producer, historian, and film restorationist), moderated by production designer John Muto.
