Pretty
much combining the plots of The Scarlet Pimpernel and Robin Hood the
story of Zorro had been a silent movie with Douglas Fairbanks back in
1920 and also a series of cheapie serials for Republic in the thirties,
this 1940 version was a high profile movie, big of budget and full of
excitement.
Heavily
influenced by the recent The Adventures of Robin Hood (even going so far
as to use much of its cast) The Mark of Zorro is definitely the kind of
movie they don’t make anymore, its also hugely enjoyable and with its
mixture of action and romance, very much worth watching.
