Three Zorro For One Third The Fun

In this Spanish-Italian coproduction, Zorro is captured when a boy is threatened. That boy grows up to be Guy Stockwell. He, along with singing sister Mikaela, run a tavern. He's also the latest Zorro, who falls in love with Gloria Milland. She's being forced to marry evil governor Giuseppi Addobbati, lest her father's lands be confiscated.

In other words, the usual stuff of romances of Mexico in the days after independence, when evil governors did as they will and the federal government was weak. Mikaela sings two songs very well, with a lot of echo. Stockwell pretends to be an idiot when he's not dashing about in black. The movie itself moves along at a lethargic pace, abetted by a couple of horseback chases that seem to go on for a long time, and a lazy main musical theme. There's a cute ending when Addobbati's minions.
