This 1974 Zorro is true to previous films. The best part for me was the use of 1940's film score.
The music ties the film to the classic performance of Tyrone Power. Frank Langella was destined to play remakes, Dracula and Zorro.
Ricardo Montalban, Yvonne deCarlo, and Gilbert Roland are consummate actors that bring the film above its humble TV budget.
The film follows the 1940's script, which makes the film enjoyable to watch.
Later versions because of their modern thirst for gore can't compare. Watch it on Starz or buy the DVD.
