The King with My Face (1967)
Reviewed by: mpongpun on 2004-05-10
This is the Chinese version of the French legend of King Louis XIV, “The Mystery of the Man in the Iron Mask”. This flick is about how the Emperor had two sons who were split up at birth. One grows up to become noble and a man of great spirit and determination while the other actually assumes the crown and becomes a loathsome, despotic ruler who in order to keep the crown decides to put his brother’s noggin in an iron mask and tucked away in a dungeon forever.
