Review of Zorro, The Gay Blade (1981) by The Critic ( — 09 Oct 2012
A light-hearted take on the Zorro legend with George Hamilton in duel roles, flexing his comedic muscles as a philanderer and his flamboyantly gay twin brother who take turns in portraying the titular hero with varying results.
But the film belongs to the wonderful pairing of Ron Leibman and Brenda Vaccaro, whose love-hate relationship as Esteban and Florinda showcases a number of scene-stealing physical gags and one-liners.
By no means politically correct and falling short of being exceptional, but this is a fun, easy-going ride.
