Don Q, Son of Zorro
Featuring live piano accompaniment by Jeff Rapsis!
Returning to the legend that inspired his first swashbuckling adventure, Douglas Fairbanks appeared in Don Q, Son of Zorro. Don Cesar De Vega (Fairbanks) crosses swords with a vicious member of the Queen's Guard (Donald Crisp, who also directed), and steals the affection of a young heiress (Mary Astor). When the officer frames the young upstart for murder, Don Cesar fakes his own death and retreats to the crumbling ruins of the family castle where he plots his vengeance.
