In the 1970s, Chamberlain enjoyed success as a leading man in films: "The Music Lovers" (1970), "Lady Caroline Lamb" (playing Lord Byron; 1973), "The Three Musketeers" (1973), "The Lady's Not for Burning" (made for television, 1974), "The Towering Inferno" (in a villainous turn as a dishonest engineer, 1974), and "The Count of Monte Cristo" (1975). In "The Slipper and the Rose" (1976), a musical version of the Cinderella story, co-starring Gemma Craven, he displayed his vocal talents. A television film, William Bast's "The Man in the Iron Mask" (1977), followed. The same year, he starred in Peter Weir's film "The Last Wave".
