Z is for “The Mask of Zorro.”
The original Zorro was a fictional character dreamed up in 1919 by author Johnston McCulley. In time, the mysterious 19th Century masked horseman and swordsman appeared in television series and movies.
“The Mask of Zorro” was released in 1998, with Antonio Banderas playing Alejandro Murrieta, essentially apprenticed to Anthony Hopkins as the original Zorro (Don Diego de la Vega). The cast included Catherine Zeta-Jones, Tony Amendola, Pedro Armendiariz, Jr., Matt Letcher, and Stuart Wilson.
The movie trailer offers a glimpse at the dazzling displays of swordplay stunts and zany repartee.
