Wikipedia article
'Le Masque de fer' ("The Iron Mask") is a 1962 French film directed by Henri Decoin, based on the 1850 novel 'The Vicomte of Bragelonne: Ten Years Later' by Alexandre Dumas and specifically part 3 of the novel, 'The Man in the Iron Mask'; which in turn is based on the real-life story of the Man in the Iron Mask.
Synopsis
Mazarin gives d'Artagnan the mission to rescue the imprisoned brother of Louis XIV.
In a scene not in the original book, d'Artagnan grabs Isabelle de Saint-Mars, pulls up her dress, and spanks her to punish her for not keeping a promise she had made.
