The Mark Of Zorro

MARK OF ZORRO 1940 2
Over on MovieFanFare, Laura Grieve wrote a great review of one of her (and my) favorite movies:  The Mark of Zorro.  Aside from enjoying Tyrone Power's films, I'm a big fan of Basil Rathbone, who was playing great villains long before he ever said "Elementary, my dear Watson" as Sherlock Holmes.  I think it is interesting that Linda Darnell was only 16 when she became the leading lady in this film.
