Apr 15, 2013 · A point to 1940. Setting: The 1920 version takes advantage of the California setting and has Zorro chased up hill and down dale. The city and its citizens are suitably gritty and everything looks lived-in. While the 1940 version is lavish and beautiful, it still has that plastic backlot sheen. A point to 1920.
A classic piece of action adventure based around the antics of Fairbanks' "Zorro" - a Scarlet Pimpernel style character that couldn't tie his own shoelaces on the outside, but with a secret persona determined to fight for justice and equality in the face of the corruption of the Governor (George Periolat) and the nasty "Capt. Ramon" (Robert McKim).
The image of Douglas Fairbanks that springs to mind to even the most dedicated silent movie fan is that of the grinning swashbuckling hero. From The Mark of Zorro in 1920 to The Iron Mask in 1929, Fairbanks was the dashing leading man of dynamic costume epics defined by his verve and acrobatic energy.
