Movie Reviews of Walt Disney's Zorro - Season 1 - Volume 2
Movie Review: At Long Last - Zorro on DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
While Antonio Banderas did a good job portraying Johnston McCulley's most famous character, "Zorro" in the 1998 release The Mask of Zorro, there is still only one "Zorro." The story has been done many times, by many actors, but none as well as the late Guy Williams.
Walt Disney's Zorro - Season 1 - Volume 2 aired as a TV series from 1957 to 1959 and really launched the career of Guy Williams as a leading man and put "Zorro" on the map, as it were. Mr. Disney must have had a vision because he was right on the money. Williams (born Armando Catalano) understood and interpreted the dashing avenging hero of the people, set in old California during the Spanish rule. An accomplished fencer, Williams stepped right into a role that was tailor-made. Williams not only had the "look," but more importantly exuded the charm and panache of Don Diego de la Vega's alter ego. It's obvious that Williams was having fun.
In typical Disney fashion, the series derived its comical relief from "Bernardo" played by Gene Sheldon, "Sgt. Garcia" played by Henry Calvin, and villany from "Capitan Monastario" portrayed by Britt Lomond.
McCulley's story has it all - history, romance, horses, haciendas, and action-adventure. And Williams' portrayal was so vigorous, that boys across America were fencing in their backyards with plastic swords, running up street and down alley scratching "Z's" into every surface, and driving their mothers crazy. Zorro popped up as Ben Cooper Halloween costumes, on pajamas and lunch boxes. The marketing machine was in full swing with the Zorro fervor and demand. And Williams' Zorro still lives on in other parts of the world including Argentina where Williams retired.
It's about time we see the real Zorro on DVD and even if we have to buy the entire series in installments, that's okay. We have at least moved past viewing the old videos.
Summary of Walt Disney's Zorro - Season 1 - Volume 2
Journey back to the days when California was still under Spanish rule and El Pueblo de la Reina de Los Angeles was a growing community surrounded by sprawling ranchos. The struggle for power to control Alta California's vast wealth often led to rampant injustice. On DVD for the first time ever - fans of all ages can experience classic episodes from Walt Disney's legendary TV series (1957-1959). This Zorro volume chronicles eight swashbuckling adventures starring Guy Williams (TV's Lost in Space) as the masked avenger Don Diego de le Vega. Riding astride his stunning black stallion Tornado to defend the poor and oppressed, his alter ego, El Zorro ("The Fox"), expertly wields bullwhip, sword, and cunning to right every wrong as perhaps the first caped crusader - one who inspired legions more.
