Douglas Fairbanks coscripted the film "The Man In the Iron Mask" with Lotta Woods during 1929, adapted from the works "The Three Muskateers" and "After Twenty Years" by Dumas. Directed by Allan Dwan, it was one of the last silent films ever made and paired Fairbanks with actress Marguerite de la Motte and actresses Dorothy Revier and Vera Lewis.
