(Fred Niblo, US 1920, 107 min.)

Douglas Fairbanks, the screen’s first action superstar, stars as Don Diego Vega, aka Zorro, the witty, sword-wielding masked champion of the oppressed in old Spanish California. The enormous success of this Zorro paved the way for a series of more smash-hit swashbucklers starring Fairbanks, like Robin Hood, The Thief of Baghdad, and The Black Pirate. Live piano by Philip C. Carli.
