Review of Zorro

Zorro (1957–1959)
10/10
Excellent TV series!
18 July 2009
One of the best shows I've seen in television.

Guy Williams is superb as Diego\Zorro and all the cast is wonderful ( Gene Sheldon, Henry Calvin, George L. Lewis, Britt Lommond, Jolene Brand).

One thing that upsets me is when people compare this Zorro to Antonio Banderas' Zorro. It's completely different. Guy Williams is playing Don Diego de la Vega and Antonio Banderas is playing Alejandro Murrieta. Two different characters. This series are very well written and the swordplay is fantastic. They used real swords because Walt Disney wanted realism into the scenes.

After episode 52 - "Amnesty for Zorro" the series goes into a different format. I enjoyed the stories ( specially the one with Diego's uncle, Estevan, played by Cesar Romero).

This is what I think. They should've done another 13 story arc in which Monastario (Britt Lommond) returned and Ana Maria (Jolene Brand) discovered Zorro's identity.

Zorro is one of my favorite shows ever. All in all, this is great and even today is fantastic. A show for all ages!
