Review of The Mark of Zorro (1940) by Abel D — 19 Mar 2013

While it shows its age a little with a sometimes slow pace and 'Zorro' Zorro is really only in the film for maybe 10 minutes, Mark is still a classic and rousing adventure of yesteryear, with some great dashes of verbal humour, mainly from Diego (Power), good performances from its capable cast, especially Rathbone as the villainous captain, and some well filmed sword fights, especially the climatic duel with the Captain, which still manages to thrill and excite even all these decades later, a testament to its quality.
