About The Mark of Zorro (1920)

1800s Spanish California is the setting in which Douglas Fairbanks creates the prototype movie action-adventure hero, with surprising humor and athleticism, as "Señor Zorro". Slashing his trademark Z on the consciousnesses (and anatomies) of the henchmen of corrupt Governor Alvarado, Zorro leads the way to JUSTICE FOR ALL!

About Don Q, Son of Zorro

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.
