Egyptian Theatre (Hollywood, CA)
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.
