Rollicking action movie.
Not quite the original Zorro - there were a few Zorro movies before this - but probably the best.
Decent, simple plot. Writer and director don't try to make things too complicated. It's pretty much Robin Hood set in early-1800s California. Consistent with this, doesn't overstay its welcome.
Good action scenes. Some of the fencing contests are among the best you'll see in a movie.
Good performances. Tyrone Power gives a solid, suitably dashing, performance as Zorro, while also having to act the dandy for his unmasked other life.
Nothing more than an action-drama though - don't expect anything too profound.
