Madeline, Jaqueline's mannered twin sister, takes the place for her evil sister. Soon after, France is in deep jeopardy by the evil Jaqueline spreading her sexual charms all through the government. Eventually, Jaqueline's love, Francois, frees her sister, and Jaqueline runs away from the palace with her new love, Maximillian. In the end, Madeline falls in love with Jaqueline's ex. now that Madeline is free and she can now choose the man she wants to marry.

This is one of Joe D'Amato's (Aristide Massaccesi) last entries into the Hard-Core porn world of cinema. Including some violence, blood, and of course, sex and more sex. A good watch for any Joe D'Amato fan and Hard-Core porn watcher or collector. I bought it for only $19.95 (including shipping) on DVD.

THE LADY IN THE IRON MASK is a typical low rent porn movie from Joe D'Amato, who at least can be relied upon to treat his exploitation movies with a degree of effort not found in some other countries. This is a simple gender twist version of the Alexandre Dumas novel, in which famous porn actress Anita Blond plays the role of twins, one good and one evil.

The evil one is locked away in a tower and forced to wear the eponymous mask while the good one goes off to romance in freedom. Of course, there are a few plot twists, none of them important enough to get in the way of all the sex, which is D'Amato's emphasis. The performers look like nothing more than porn performers and hardly convince playing characters from a few centuries ago, but the sets aren't bad and the costumes, which look like they belong to the Georgian era, are quite gorgeous.
