A Zorro who serenades and occasionally resorts to drag, a fierce maiden with a vengeful yet remarkably balanced temper, a governess who has decidedly too much madness (and pain!) to endure, a priest who arguably gets the most respect from Zorro in all the adaptations but oddly no name, a villainous Austrian in the service of the Spanish Crown who, as a military man, cannot deal with bandages, but wields a remarkable sunflower, histrionic portrayals of native people who are draconically punished for everything, but not for singing "motivational" songs during the night hours in front of their oppressors' houses and countless one-liners one would rather expect in a screwball comedy. My. Goodness. Still, I find this immensely enjoyable. Even if I prefer the black-and-white version atmospherically. Whatever. Thanks for the upload!
Thanks PizzaFlix for this little gem! 'Bold Cabalero' would have to be the first sound Zorro film coming four years before the Rouben Mamoulian version with Ty Power. I know that John Carroll made 'Zorro Rides Again' the following year but that was set in modern times (for 1937 that is) and was more of a western as most of the Republic Zorro serials produced. 'Zorro's Fighting Legion being the exception having that Johnston McCulley flair. Speaking of John Carroll, do you have access to a movie called, 'The Avengers'? Made in 1950 by Republic in Argentina but released in the US (I think) featuring John Carroll as a mercenary swordsman. He sang in the movie as well as he did in most of his films. I have only seen it once on morning tv here in Sydney in the 1970's but would love to see it again! Cheers and keep the vintage classics coming!
I am forced to admire the relatively authentic settings and props. It was probably easier to do in those days, as the old California hadn't been so completely destroyed as it is now.
At the beginning of the movie they are about to hang Zorro. Question. Zorro is still wearing his mask and costume. The makers of the movie want us to believe that after capturing him and condemning him to hang that the commander of the soldiers did not even unmask him to discover his secret identity prior to taking him to hang?
Don Q: Son of Zorro is a great movie. Second best after The Mark of Zorro from 1920 and in third place is The Mark of Zorro from 1940. It´s my opinion though.
@@samspencer582 I mean, same, I'm literally wearing a shirt of his Zorro film rn. It's just that Don Q was a bit of a disappointing return compared to the amazing original silent film
