Fairbanks' portrayal of Zorro as a leering, pulsing menace (always crouched as if about to pounce) is unforgettable, providing a benchmark for all his followers. His stunt work is sometimes breathtaking, as he glides from rooftop to rooftop, through windows, and even as he jumps over donkeys and set tables! De La Motte is good with what she has to do -- I like the feel of her icy resistance to the Don whatshisname when he's acting like a fop and she doesn't know he is truly Zorro, who she loves. Lots of broad comedy, brisk pace. Nice Photography in the style of "Don Juan."
