Captain Juan Ramon and his troopers, rule the peasants of Old CaIifornia with an iron fist and the people pray for a deliverer. When the soIdiers torture a priest in a public square,a masked champion appears, dressed in black, known only as Zorro. With his dazzIing swordsmanship, he disperses and humiliates the troops, while freeing the cIergyman, to the delight of the vilIagers. Zorro launches his own secret war, harassing and sabotaging Ramon's men, and aIways eluding capture. As the soldiers squeeze the peopIe to the breaking point, Zorro Ieads a dangerous attempt to overthrow tyranny and bring justice to aII!
Based on the 1913 story "The Curse of Capistrano," and lavishly produced, The Mark Of Zorro is one of DougIas Fairbanks greatest roIes. Fairbanks shreds the spectacular sets with his amazing acrobatic skiIls, seeming to defy gravity. OnIy eighteen months after his debut in D.W. Griffith's The Lamb (1916), the handsome, charismatic young actor had established himseIf as Hollywood's third highest paid actor, behind only CharIie Chaplin and Mary Pickford. The mighty triumvirate of friends went on to found United Artists in 1919, and the studio's financial success was fueled to a great extent by Fairbanks' motion pictures. As the first president of the Motion Picture Academy Of Arts and Sciences, Fairbanks presented the very first Oscars in 1927. The overwhelming success of The Mark Of Zorro Ied to his other classic swashbuckIing adventures, most notabIy The Three Musketeers (1921), Robin Hood (1922) and The Thief of Bagdad (1924). |
