What happens

Lady in the Iron Mask is a 1952 American Supercinecolor historical adventure film directed by Ralph Murphy, produced by Walter Wanger and starring Louis Hayward, Patricia Medina, Alan Hale Jr., Judd Holdren and Steve Brodie. The film is a reworking of Allan Dwan's 1929 screen epic The Iron Mask, an adaptation of the last section of the 1847-1850 novel The Vicomte de Bragelonne by Alexandre Dumas, which is based on the French legend of the Man in the Iron Mask. The film's sets were designed by the art director Martin Obzina. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
