Synopsis
The internationally produced Zorro is set in South America instead of the California locales of the series. Alain Delon stars as the newly appointed governor who immediately butts heads with corrupt Colonel Huerta (Stanley Baker). To rescue the peasants from Huerta's despotry, the governor becomes the caped-and-masked do-gooder Zorro. The film never really takes itself seriously, not even during the final, well-staged duel between Zorro and Huerta.
Comment
There were already several Zorro films made alongside the SW craze (most of them just like this one not really westerns), but Tessari's and Delon's version was the first with a major budget. Unfortunately it was also a major disappointment for both the star and his director. In this family friendly and much too jokey film the boots of Douglas Fairbanks and Tyrone Power are much too big for Alain Delon.
