The swordsmanship is astounding. Almost like Princess Bride. Great story and good acting. Thanks for sharing it.
-
Frank Langella.. so young… so beautiful.
-
Saw this when it was released on tv. Frank Langella was excellent! Many great swordsmen in Hollywood but Basil Rathbone is reputed to be the all-time greatest!
-
I had never seen or heard of this movie. Thank you! Good over evil and good wins!
-
Zorro and Dracula... Frank Langella killed it on TV. He still shines in "Robot and Frank"...
-
One of best performances of some of the best actors and actress in the entertainment industry.
-
For me the best Zorro was and always be....Guy Williams

This is my favorite Zorro movie! Love Frank Langella!

Basically, it's a pilot for a tv series that wasn't picked up. A word for word remake of the much better 1940 film with Tyrone Power and Basil Rathbone. They even use the opening fanfare and march composed by Hugo Friedhofer adapted for this film by Dominic Frontiere. Alfred Newman wrote most of the music for the original film. Good to see Ricardo Montalban in another swashbuckler. He was in a 1950's film for Universal called Mark of the Renegade based on a story by Johnstone McCulley who created Zorro in 1919.

This was my introduction to Zorro, watching this TV movie in 1974, prior to seeing Guy Williams or Tyrone Power.

Wow it's basically an exact recreation of the the Tyrone Powers film, obviously using the same script.

Actually an outstanding performance by Frank Langella. It is very much of the same vein as the Scarlet Pimpernel

"The Mark of Zorro" made for TV.

They used the exact same music as the 1940s Zorro with Tyrone Power, Linda Darnell and Basil Rathborne.
