The Mark of Zorro
A California-born caballero finishing his training in Madrid is called home to find his father removed as alcalde and the pueblo taxed to the bone, so he plays the idle fop by day and rides at night in black, leaving initials behind. The fencing match with the garrison commander was staged by Fred Cavens and shot in long takes. Mamoulian's remake of the Fairbanks silent fixed the formula for masked avengers since.
