Interesting. I'd never heard of the Delon Zorro. It looks to be superior to the American, made-for-TV movie of the previous year. Looking forward to the remainder.

It is far more superior than the made for TV movie in the previous year - I was very impressed with Alain Delon's performance - I would encouraged to watch that you tube movie when you get a chance to. 

Antonio Banderas - The Mask of Zorro - 1998 Movie






Theatrical Trailer


He did a great job as Zorro developing the charm and the charisma of it's character and he was full of action, brave, and most importantly he meshed with Anthony Hopkins who played the original Zorro in this movie and these two actors were brilliant together.



Anthony Hopkins gave this movie star appeal and helped Antonio Banderas to movie stardom and that's why I consider these two as perfect tandem together and that's made the movie great as it is. Banderas was masterful as Zorro and he was excellent in many ways more than one and that's why I like this move better than one later on. One thing - that stands out in my mind that Banderas did a better job as Alejandro Murrieta than Zorro.


Catherine Zeta-Jones as Elena



I was very much surprised to see her in this movie and she did a great job as Elena = Original Zorro's Daughter and she has it's moments that really made this movie with a much needed sex appeal. She was tough, determined, and loyal to her father at the end and it was a touching moment when the Original Zorro was dying and he offered her hands to his successor - that scene was real and moving to me. Here's that scene pictured below.





Very moving scene and it's was my number one scene in this movie that captured the spirit of this movie back in 1998.




Highlights of her performance in this movie.


To me, when I think of this movie - I only thought of Anthony Hopkins, Antonio Banderas, and Catherine Zeta-Jones and the rest of the movie including Stuart Wilson pictured below who played Don Rafael Montero and Matt Letscher who played Captain Harrison Love were excellent Supporting Actors that made the movie more well rounded and must added touch of villainy that took two Zorros to combat them to equal the cause of justice and righteousness in this blockbuster movie back in 1998.


Stuart Wilson


Matt Letscher


I would have to say this, I enjoyed this movie because it's has a perfect blend of romance, love, action, drama, suspense, and right chemistry of that was better than the Alain Delon's Zorro that came out in 1975. Catherine Zeta-Jones dance scene below you was very memorable to me and that's scene of her being a spirited dancer added a special touch to this movie and that alone is a much needed sex appeal to the movie itself.



I enjoyed this movie very much and I just watched it yesterday and I was stunned how well the pace of this movie was and has all the right chemistry between actors in this movie that was hit in 1998.

Duncan Regehr - Zorro 1990 TV Series





He was by far the most charming Zorro ever, I remember this series vividly and I was in awe of how well it's made and furthermore it was a top notch production and the settings were magnificent and it's was splendid as it's come. The Introduction was true to it's core and most importantly it was simply memorable.



Duncan Regehr was impeccable, romantic, full of life, and most importantly was a true defender of the poor and the defend-less that's shows it's true colors on a daily basis. It was on the Family Channel back then and I often try to rush home to make the 5:30 PM showing every day when I was working at the time it was on. It's ran every show at least three times and I enjoyed watching it every single day after work.

You just can't go wrong with it and most of all - I admired the good qualities of this show and it's made it very clear to me that Duncan made it special. The series shot in Spain in it's whole and was distributed on a wide scale and eventually the Family Channel took command of it.

It's has good guest stars ... See link below, Adam West of TV Batman made an appearance too.

Efrem Zimbalist Jr.


He played Zorro's father in the 1st Season of Zorro and he was excellent and I wished that he did 2nd season too. But, his health was having trouble and he had to bow out when 1st Season was concluded. He brought the TV Series credibility and name recognition.

Henry Darrow


He played Zorro's father in the remaining three seasons of Zorro and I find him very charming, delightful, full of love for his son and most importantly he was more than a help to Zorro than Efrem was and that's made the show a bit better and having said that I have the upmost respect for his acting and he was an unknown to me at that time and I was happy to be acquainted with him.

Micheal Tylo


He was the town Alcalde who was evil and causing a lot of trouble for it's people he was cold, calculating, and quite diabolical in every way step in the way - he appeared in the Season 1 and Season 2 and I was sad to learn that he won't be around in Season 3. He was quite excellent and a good actor too.

John Hertzler


He was the town Alcalde when Tylo left the show and I was very disappointed in him and he wasn't memorable as Micheal was and that's in my mind causes the show to suffer and took a downward turn.

James Victor


He was the Commanding Solider at the Alcalde by the name of Sergeant Jaime Mendoza and he was excellent and I find him a great joy and did a terrific job entertaining me. I have nothing but high praise for him and I learned yesterday that he died on June 20th this year and I consider him a true professional in this show.

Juan Diego Botto


He played the speakless servant of Zorro and had a good impression on me helping Zorro in all his cases with respect and love and most importantly was an excellent actor that I hardly knew at all.

Patrice Martinez


Zorro's love interest and the only female in this show, she was magnificent, romantic, full of love and energy and passion. She was excellent in this show and was very charming and have a terrific smile that melts your heart. She gave the show a feminine appeal that truly memorable and that's one of the many reasons why this show had success.

She was very beautiful lady and I felt that she and Duncan had great chemistry together and that's made this show a hit among women who had a large following because of one Patrice Martinez.

The Face of Patricia Martinez

Well said and that's the perfect description of his Television Series in the 1990's 








Tomorrow ... I will do a 2 for 1 to speeds things up!

I had to look up Patrice Martinez, because she looked familiar. Noticed she was the female lead in The Three Amigos. Oh Man I had a crush on her in that movie.

Guy Williams - Zorro 1957 TV Series







Black and White Intro



Color Intro


This series was produced by ABC and Disney and I only remember the COLOR version and not the BLACK and WHITE version and the only other character that I remember somewhat in my mind was Henry Calvin.


From Wikipedia

Sergeant Demetrio López García (portrayed by Henry Calvin) is fat, superstitious and overfond of drink, but also kind-hearted, brave and loyal. Sergeant García believes that he must obey orders from his commanding officers, however cruel or unjust they may be. He tries to soften the blow with his friendly manner, often saying "Please?" as he issues an unpalatable order to a civilian. Although García seldom departs from his sworn duty, he develops considerable respect for Zorro and later in the series is openly glad when Zorro escapes capture. Nevertheless, García dreams of catching Zorro himself to collect the reward money, a dream that Diego encourages from time to time. He also has an excellent singing voice, and performs a number of songs over the course of the series, usually with mug in hand. García replaces McCulley's Sergeant Gonzales from the original stories, played by Noah Beery, Sr. as a hardcore villain in the 1920 film version.




He was excellent and pretty much a foil for Zorro and basically was used for the comedy aspects of the show itself. I have very little memory of him but I do remember his antics quite well and his problems trying to capture Zorro and never ever did on his own. He was genuine and somewhat aloof and brought fun to this show.


On Guy Williams - Zorro


He was an excellent Zorro and the only show that I watched with my older brothers was the Color Version and I have never, ever seen the Black and White Version of the show. He was born to play Zorro just as much as Clayton Moore was born to play the Lone Ranger. For being a hard of hearing and deaf boy back then his speech was very easy to read lips and his voice was perfect and that's brought me great joy as a kid. He was full of action, commanding on the small screen (Our TV back then was a 13 inch screen) and he was a great entertainer as well.

Guy Williams made a name of himself playing Zorro and he was Zorro just a much as Adam West was Batman.

My memory is of this show and I just can't recall any of my favorites but it's was powerful, it's carry a message, and the Color Introduction of that show was inspiring. I just loved the ending of it of all the words of "Zorro" flashing at different places on screen and the lightning made it very dramatic and makes you want to remember it well and the Producers of the Show did that to make you want to watch the next telecast.

I just loved Guy Williams and he was incredible, dashing, and full of romance.


Guy Williams is Zorro!





One more thing, I just loved the costumes, the settings, and the photography of this show too. It's made it quite good, and Guy Williams had that smile that I like.

Tomorrow, it will be Tyrone Powers and that's my Final Zorro!
