Quotes:
[Zorro is passionately wooing Lolita]Zorro: If this could be The high Sierras I would level to your feet. The wild waves on Capistrano's shore would pay you homage-- I'd make the desert a million roses yield--to die in shame before your beauty. If this could be!

If you've seen the other incarnations of Zorro before seeing this black-and-white silent version, you may think this one is going to be boring. Wrong! Because it is silent, the visuals kept me captivated; much more seems to be conveyed through gestures and body language than in a film in which the characters speak. The accompanying organ music is masterfully matched to the action (when someone slams a hand down on to a table, there is an appropriate "thump" in the music.) Best of all, though, is watching the legendary Douglas Fairbanks in some of his trademark athletic leaps, which appear effortless. I have to say that this is one of the very best versions of Zorro.
