The Mark Of Zorro is regarded by most as the finest telling of the Zorro legend screen icon Tyrone Power (Rawhide) stars as 19th century nobleman Don Diego de Vega, whose father, the mayor of Los Angeles, is removed from office by the sinister Captain Esteban Pasquale (Basil Rathbone, The Black Sleep), and a new corrupt regime. By day, the crooked politicians rob the citizenry at every turn, and at night, Don Diego, wearing a mask, defies their laws and avenges the innocents. As he leaves his trademark - the letter "Z" - wherever he goes, he also leaves an impression on the mayor's niece (Linda Darnell, Hangover Square), who can't help but love the hero in disguise. Featuring top-notch direction by the great Rouben Mamoulian (Love Me Tonight, Blood and Sand). Bonus Features: Audio Commentary by Film Critic Richard Schickel | Tyrone Power: The Last Idol Documentary | Trailers

A very good picture for fans of Zorro
A very well acted picture starring Tyrone Power, Linda Darnell, and Basil Rathbone. It is the beginning of Zorro and has action and is very good entertainment.

TYRONE POWER'S GREATEST FILM
I love this film made in 1939 and I think that it's Power's greatest film because he shows his great acting skills !!! This is because he plays two totally different characters and he really excels !! The film is hilarious and it Is serious, too , full of comedy and drama. It is also my favorite film of Tyrone Power's, and i never tire of watching it. I have been watching it since I was a little girl on television. I always have a copy on dvd , and I have one in black and white and one colored version. They are both great. The film also stars Linda Darnell, Basil Rathbone , Eugene Pallett, et al.

not as exciting as the remake with Antonio Banderas, but pretty good
It's the same story we all know, nothing new here, but it was well done for it's time. If you're a Zorro collector, this is probably one of the best.
