	The Mark of Zorro (1920 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Mark of Zorro is a silent motion picture released in 1920 starring Douglas Fairbanks.
		The Mask of Zorro tells the story of Don Diego de la Vega, the outwardly foppish son of a wealthy ranchero Don Alejandro in the old Spanish California of the early 19th century.
		When not in the disguise of Zorro, dueling and rescuing peons, Don Diego courts the beautiful Lolita Pulido with bad magic tricks and worse manners and she cannot stand him.

		The Mark of Zorro (1940) is an improvement on the Fairbanks silent version of 1920, because of the excellent acting, Mamoulian's direction, and splendid music.
		Instead, the popularity of Zorro during most the 1930's was maintained not by Warner Brothers, but by a much less prestigious studio, Republic, which from its creation in 1935 had been specializing in B features and serials, usually in the western genre.
		Zorro, dressed in fl, is better portrayed as a mysterious man hiding in shadows with fl and white photography, which is accentuated by the subtle lighting, giving the impression that the candles were the only source of light on the sets.

		The script of "The Mark of Zorro" was written by Fairbanks (as Elton Thomas) and directed by Fred Niblo (whose greatest achievement was probably 1925's "Ben-Hur").
		After an episode in which Zorro must avenge the beating of Fray Felipe, a robed Franciscan, the Pulidos are believed to be harbouring Zorro and helping his escape, and are promptly put in jail.
		Fairbanks provides the audience with an electrifying performance as Zorro, and from it, very few people would guess that it was his first venture into the swashbuckling genre, as his swordplay seems as assured as in his later films.

		Zorro was one of the first popular heroes to employ a secret identity for cover.
		The Mark of Zorro is so well-loved, and gets so many of the little things right, that we tend to forget how thin the material really is. It is clearly the product of a more innocent time; the characters and their motivations are as fl and white as Arthur C. Miller's cinematography.

		Douglas Fairbanks, the most famous of the Zorros, made this mix of comedy and derring-do reluctantly, as a change-of-pace from his modern-dress playboy roles.

		Made for television, The Mark of Zorro is virtually a scene-for-scene remake of the 1940 Tyrone Power theatrical film--the principal difference being that, where Power's version ran 93 minutes, the TV version blurs along at a mere 78 minutes.
		Alfred Newman's pulsating score from the original Mark of Zorro is cleverly redeployed in this remake.
		What's missing in the 1974 Mark of Zorro is the freshness and virtuosity of the earlier film's director Rouben Mamoulien; and, in all due respect to his considerable talent, Frank Langella is no Tyrone Power.

		From a modern audience's viewpoint, the film has lost most of its appeal, since several Zorro films were made afterwards, and at least one is better than this one.

		To rectify the situation, Don Diego takes on the secret identity of Zorro while posing by daytime as a fop, much to the disgust of both his father and a possible matrimonial partner, the lovely Lolita Quintero (Linda Darnell).

	The Mark of Zorro - Johnston McCulley (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Zorro is cautious about facing multiple foes; in mounted combat he maneuvers so that only one for at a time can strike at him, and at other times he uses a pistol to keep back a roomful of adversaries so that he can engage his primary foe one on one.
		Zorro's fencing style, with an erect stance and alertness to his enemies' moves, isn't much like the acrobatic combat of many films, but it suggests that McCulley had read about classic Spanish fencing.
		McCulley's treatment is actually more insightful; in effect, Zorro defines his dual role as a form of political theater, designed not merely to protect his family and friends but to call attention to the abuses he combats and to mobilize support for his cause.

	"The Mark of Zorro" / a review from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
		Zorro is one of a select group of "superheros" who have no supernatural powers but have honed their natural powers to perfection, and who wear a mask to strike terror into the hearts of bad guys.
		The Zorro character is deeply imbedded in our culture and never grows old.
		Besides several remakes of this film and readaptations of the underlying story, there were: five TV series; the 1998 "sequel" The Mask of Zorro starring Anthony Hopkins and Antonio Banderas; spoofs such as Zorro, the Gay Blade starring George Hamilton; and "El Kabong", the alter ego of cartoon character Quick Draw McGraw.

		Zorro entered the public consciousness and is now a part of popular culture, the same as such heroes as Superman, Tarzan, and The Lone Ranger.
		In The Mark of Zorro Zorro's identity is secret, which it wasn't in the book I read, so although that was a perfectly reasonable plot device, it obviously didn't work for me, since I already knew the secret.
