"The Sign of Zorro" is a terrific vintage Walt Disney movie - and a true collector...’s treasure.
In this film - edited from eight episodes of Disney's hit TV series (1957-1959) - Don Diego returns home to find his town under the heel of a cruel dictator, Capitan Monastario. Diego dons the mask of Zorro to fight the evil commandant's tyranny, and, with the help of his mute servant Bernardo, free the pueblo from his oppression.
Summary:
For most of its brief run, Zorro's episodes were part of continuing "story arcs." Each about thirteen episodes long. Which made it almost like a serial. The first of these chronicles: the arrival of Zorro/Diego to California in 1820 - and his battle with the greedy and cruel local Commandante, Captain Enrique Sánchez Monasterio. Culled from these episodes - came this wonderful movie: "The Sign of Zorro."
Background:
When Walt Disney decided to package the hit Davy Crockett episodes of Disneyland into two feature films for American audiences, it was a stroke of genius - since it allowed for them to finally be seen in color (TV was only available in black and white at the time).
However - his new successful TV series, Zorro, was filmed in black and white to keep production costs down.
The "Sign of Zorro" was originally created for international audiences in 1958 who weren't quite as familiar with the Disney TV series.
The US release came a year after the second and final season of the series had aired.
For the Zorro TV series, Walt Disney created a new section on the backlot - solely for this production, which would later be reused in many of the Disney studios' Western films.
Guy Williams, a former model, who was unable to find success in feature films - was given his big break when Walt cast him as Don Diego De La Vega/Zorro. Henry Calvin and Gene Sheldon were placed in supporting roles that created some of the series' best moments. Both would go on to star in several Disney movies.
