Great movie. Thanks. The sword fight is ranked as the best in movie history. Basil Rathbone was a two-time British Army Fencing Champion and one of the best swordsmen of his day. He taught Errol Flynn and Tyrone Power. He said Power was the better swordsman. He could easily have won if they were actually fencing, but he had to lose because he played the bad guy.
He is on record as saying that Ty Power was the most agile swordsman he had ever known. He said he could have fenced Erol Flynn "into a cocked hat." Rathbone and Power were insanely good in it all the way through. Having read "The Curse of Capistrano," Ty Power actually played the character very well as far as making him seem easily bored and tired all the time.
One of my very favorite all time GREATS!! This is a an "A+" movie in any time or age! It's good for kids and young people. My first time seeing it was at a Saturday afternoon Matinee. All us kids loved it and we jumped up and cheered for Zorro when he was on screen and besting the baddies!! But not all Zorro movies are the same great quality! This one takes the top prize!!
"Old California, in a bygone era of sprawling hacidenas and haughty cabelleros, suffers beneath the whip-lash of oppression. Missions are pillaged, native peasants are abused, and innocent men and women are presecuted by the corrupt governor and his army. But out comes a champion of freedom rides the highways. His identity hidden behind a mask, the laughing outlaw ZORRO defies the tyrant's might. He's a deadly marksman and a demon swordsman, his flashing blade leaves behind..."
First saw this movie when I was Linda Darnell's age (17), and at 60, I still Love it! Every frame is like a painting. Less enthused about some of the color choices, the B&W was good enough, but the print is great. Sharp and clear. 1939,1940 were two of the Best years in Hollywood.
My father in his youth bore a striking resemblance to Tyrone Power in this movie, right down to the wavy hair and pencil moustache. To a very small boy seeing this film for the first time it was as if my father was ZORRO.
As far as the "greatest sword-fight" it was Mel Ferrer and Robert Taylor in Scaramouche. They fought like fiends on fire and with balancing on tightropes in much more dramatic and precarious conditions. My favorite all time best was Basil Rathbone who was great in his Sherlock Holmes movies and that woman in this Zorro movie was in one of the Holmes movies where she tried to kill Holmes at a circus. "Elementary my dear Watson" Thanks for this colorized Zorro. Tyrone Power was quite dashing and gave Errol Flynn a run for his money.
Actors when actors were actors,,,Hollywood when Hollywood was Hollywood....Take a good look...doubtful quality like this will ever return...on a brighter note ,, we DID have "Barbie"...
I LOVE old black and white movies (this one’s been colorized) even though many aren’t necessarily first rate films. It’s exactly the same today. There are many quality films being made today with quality actors. (I don’t mind kids walking across my lawn.)
Colorization means nothing. It neither adds nor detracts. Restoration is more important. In black and white cinematography, it's meant to be seen that way.
There was a real Zorro, but he was not like how the movies depicted him... The real Zorro robbed stagecoaches in the Santa Barbara area, and rather than carving Z on Spanish uniforms, what he really did was cut one ear off of each victim. Truth changes when it becomes legend.

Out of all the Zorro movies that were made, I gotta say, see this one first. Then you'll see how every other one's a travesty by comparison. Only my opinion, of course.

When the hero doesnt looks like maxican even this movie base by mexican culture in california, but the villains all mexican 😂😂😂 i like this move but too bad for casting...
how many history classes did you fail? you're confusing Mexicans with Spaniards. During this time period, California was a Spanish colony ruled by Spain.
My favorite Zorro movie 🎥 with the great Tyrone Power and Basil Rathborne. …and the best sword fight in movie history.
This is the Best Colourised Version of a Black and White Film I have ever seen! It also happens to be one of my all time favourites!
Awesome!
I have seen this 20 times and never get tired of the movie or the incredible fencing of Tyrone Power and the Basil Rathbone!!
This movie was made in Spain, a hit in Europe and as a "Western" movie in the US. Thank you, I love good vs evil movies

Thanks. I have not read The Curse of Capistrano and didn't even realize it was the source for the Zorro stories.

Thanks for your comment!
My all time favorite Zorro movie. Have to admit that I've never seen the colorized version.
Who does not love this film for the finest reasons?

The friar played the same role in Robin Hood...I guess with his looks/build he was a natural choice lol
One Of The Good Ones

Your mom is a lucky woman. 😊 Does she look like Linda Darnell?
@@iluvpepi My mom looked like Joan Fontaine. But Thank you for asking.
@@jamesdiaz793 : wonderful!
Those were the movies don’t forget the three Musketeers.
Whoever did the horse stunts, he is one remarkable horseman.

Delightful classic film.. terrible frequency of ads. Almost ruining it.
Hey. You'd think that more guards would carry guns and just take a shot at him.
I 💜this movie 🎉
muca gracias.
Zorro movie 2024
I believe the girl here appeared in "Casablanca" in a small role -- the one who asked for "help" at the casino.
No, not her.

Zorro is just like President Trump - always fighting injustices and looking out for the regular people.
Trump a regular people, what you smoking.
Ha hah...
It's Holmes under cover.
Was this colorized??
Yes, it was!
