A remake of the Douglas Fairbanks silent film and every bit as good. Tyrone Power is the Robin Hood of old Los Angeles Zorro. The film is basically a rob from the rich and give to the poor tale but it is made with a lot of skill.
Rouben Mamoulian directed and Daryl F. Zanuck produced this picture, two Hollywood legends who at this point in their career couldn't do a whole lot wrong.
The film had one of Fox's biggest stars in Tyrone Power. The love interest was played by Linda Darnell and Basil Rathbone played the villain. In real life Rathbone was apparently an expert fencer and it shows, the sword fighting scenes are very exciting.
The cinematography was by one of Hollywood's best cameramen Arthur Miller. John Taintor Foote wrote the screenplay. The film runs 94 minutes.
