When you're coming up with a plot for a new WDZ fanfic, but there are several circumstances /conditions:

1) no sex, a short fic;

2) St. Valentine's Day is coming;

3) months ago you promised to write a fic based on the phrase, "Early one morning, Diego found Captain Monastario bound and gagged on the threshold of his hacienda" (the author of the phrase / request herself writes not-rated gen, het, bromance etc) —

@pheavampire Here is Captain Monastario!!! He is very coyote flavored, so he's a coyote. He is also the first animal that doesn't actually have the facial hair of the human version. And he has swoopy hair since it's an important part of his head.

#drawing entity #zorro #captain monastario #he is ready for diego to stop talking.#i tried to make their head shapes different enough that you could tell they're different species.#for some reason nobody can tell that the only young fox in the town is the fox bandit. it is a mystery to them.

Two very beautiful men that I now enjoy in 2020. The late Guy WIlliams Don Deigo de la Vega/Zorro and late Britt Lomond as Captain Enrique Sanchez Monastario. Love these two so much.

My childhood in some TV show:

1) Murder She Wrote (1984 - 1996)

Murder, She Wrote is an American crime drama television series starring Angela Lansbury (born October 16, 1925) as mystery writer and amateur detective Jessica Fletcher. Moving into television in 1984, she achieved worldwide fame as fictional writer and sleuth Jessica Fletcher in the American whodunit series Murder, She Wrote, which ran for twelve seasons until 1996, becoming one of the longest-running and most popular detective drama series in television history.

The show revolves around the day-to-day life of Jessica Fletcher, (formerly MacGill), a widowed and retired English teacher, who becomes a successful mystery writer. Despite fame and fortune, Jessica remains a resident of Cabot Cove, a small coastal community in Maine, and maintains her links with all of her old friends, never letting her success go to her head.

Jessica invariably proves more perceptive than the official investigators of a case, who are almost always willing to arrest the most likely suspect. By carefully piecing the clues together and asking astute questions, she always manages to trap the real murderer.

Jessica's relationship with law enforcement officials varies from place to place. Both sheriffs of Cabot Cove resign themselves to having her meddle in their cases. However, most detectives and police officers do not want her anywhere near their crime scenes, until her accurate deductions convince them to listen to her. Some are happy to have her assistance from the start, often because they are fans of her books. With time, she makes friends in many police departments across the U.S., as well as with a British police officer attached to Scotland Yard. At the start of season eight, more of the stories were set in New York City with Jessica moving into an apartment there part-time in order to teach criminology.

2) Columbo (1968 - 2003)

Columbo is an American crime drama television series starring Peter Falk as Columbo, a homicide detective with the Los Angeles Police Department. Columbo is a shrewd but inelegant blue-collar homicide detective whose trademarks include his rumpled beige raincoat, unassuming demeanor, cigar, old Peugeot 403 car, unseen wife (whom he mentions frequently), and often leaving a room only to return with the catchphrase "Just one more thing." Columbo and his wife own also a Basset Hound named Dog.

Peter Falk (September 16, 1927 – June 23, 2011) was an American actor and comedian, known for his role as Lieutenant Columbo in the long-running television series Columbo (1968–2003), for which he won four Primetime Emmy Awards (1972, 1975, 1976, 1990) and a Golden Globe Award (1973).

The recurring plot's homicide suspects are often affluent members of high society; this has led some to see class conflict as an element of each story, however the show's creators have stated that setting the program in the world of the wealthy and powerful was to create a fish out of water feeling, not to make a social or political point. Suspects carefully cover their tracks and are initially dismissive of Columbo's circumstantial speech and apparent ineptitude. They become increasingly unsettled as his pestering behavior teases out incriminating evidence. His relentless approach often leads to self-incrimination or outright confession.

3) The Munsters (1964 - 1966)

The Munsters is an American sitcom depicting the home life of a family of benign monsters. The series starred Fred Gwynne as Frankenstein's monster and head-of-the-household Herman Munster; Yvonne De Carlo as his wife Lily Munster; Al Lewis as Lily's father, Grandpa, the somewhat over-the-hill vampire Count Dracula who longs for the "good old days" in Transylvania; Beverley Owen (later replaced by Pat Priest) as their teenage niece Marilyn Munster, who was attractive by conventional standards but the "ugly duckling" of the family; and Butch Patrick as their werewolfish son Eddie Munster. The series was a satire of both traditional monster movies and the wholesome family fare of the era. It ran concurrently with the similarly macabre-themed The Addams Family (which aired on ABC).

4) Zorro (1957 - 1959)

Armando Joseph Catalano (January 14, 1924 – April 30, 1989), better known as Guy Williams, was an Italo-American actor and former fashion model. Among his most notable achievements were TV serie Zorro (1957), in which he played the title chatacter: the noble hildago Don Diego de la Vega, who became the masked vigilante Zorro.

Don Diego de la Vega is a young man who is the only son of Don Alejandro de la Vega (George J. Lewis), the richest landowner in California, while Diego's mother is dead. Diego learned his swordsmanship while at university in Madrid, and created his masked alter ego after he was unexpectedly summoned home by his father because California had fallen into the hands of the greedy and cruel local Comandante, Capitán Enrique Sánchez Monasterio (Britt Lomond).

Just before reaching California, Diego learns of the tyranny of Captain Monastario, and realizes that his father, Don Alejandro, summoned him to help fight this injustice. Although he won medals for his fencing back in Spain, Diego decides that his best course of action is to conceal his ability with a sword, and to affect the demeanor of a milquetoast intellectual rather than a decisive man of action. His alter ego, Zorro operates primarily at night, taking the direct action that Diego cannot. This deception does not always sit well with Diego, especially as it affects his relationship with his disappointed father. In reality, Diego relies heavily on his wits, both with and without the mask on. Later in the series, Diego emerges as a respected figure in his own right, a clever thinker and loyal friend who just happens to be hopeless at swordplay.

He is typically portrayed as a dashing masked vigilante who defends the commoners and indigenous peoples of California against corrupt and tyrannical officials and other villains, helped by his mute servant Bernardo, played by Gene Sheldon (born Eugene Hume, February 1, 1908 – May 1, 1982), an American actor, mime artist, and musician.

The character's visual motif is typically a black costume with a black flowing Spanish cape or cloak, a black flat-brimmed hat known as sombrero cordobés, and a black sackcloth mask that covers the top half of his head. In Disney's Zorro television series the horse gets the name Tornado, which has been kept in many later adaptations. In most versions, Zorro keeps Tornado in a secret cave, connected to his hacienda with a system of secret passages and tunnels.

5) Addams Family (1964 - 1966)

The Addams Family is a close-knit extended family with decidedly macabre interests and supernatural abilities, though no explanation for their powers is explicitly given in the series. The wealthy, endlessly enthusiastic Gomez Addams (John Astin) is madly in love with his refined wife, Morticia (Carolyn Jones). Along with their daughter Wednesday (Lisa Loring), their son Pugsley (Ken Weatherwax), Uncle Fester (Jackie Coogan), and Grandmama (Blossom Rock), they reside at 0001 Cemetery Lane in an ornate, gloomy, Second Empire-style mansion, which is portrayed by the house at 21 Chester Place in Los Angeles.

The family is attended by their servants: towering butler Lurch (Ted Cassidy); and Thing (also Cassidy), a disembodied hand that appears from within wooden boxes and other places. Other relatives who made recurring appearances included Cousin Itt (Felix Silla), Morticia's older sister Ophelia (also portrayed by Jones), and Morticia's mother Grandma Frump (Margaret Hamilton).

Question: how old am I?

Little clue: my birth year is one of the dates above.

Watching the Zorro TV series and it seems like the formula of the show is new villain every arc.I am on the second arc ,and the villain is Magistrate Carlos Galindo......And I hate him .He’s not a fun villain nor is he interesting ,he just yells and bullies everyone ,and is nowhere near as entertaining as Captain Monastario ,the first villain of the series .It doesnt help that the Magistrate is just second banana to the Eagle ,the mysterious mastermind orchestrating everything,and I get that they want to build up the Eagle.....But couldnt they have had a better inbetween villain

Disney’s Zorro Episode Transcript

Season 1, Episode 1 - Presenting Señor Zorro

Title: Spanish California 1820

[Diego and ship captain fencing]

Ship Captain: Well done, Señor de la Vega! I shall miss these daily bouts!

Diego de la Vega: I, too, sir. They have made the long voyage most enjoyable.

Captain: Your agility with the sword, sir, should serve you well in California.

Diego: Why do you say that?

Captain: How long have you been away?

Diego: Three years.

Captain: I am afraid you’re going to find conditions quite changed when you reach Los Angeles. Everything is rules and regulations. Military force has taken over.

Diego: When did all this happen?

Captain: A year ago, when the new comandante was appointed. I hate to disillusion you, but I have the feeling that you will soon wish that you had stayed in Spain.

Diego: Is it as bad as that?

Captain: Worse. But you will see for yourself. If you are bringing in anything of value, hide it. The soldiers at the customs house have a habit of confiscating anything they take a liking to.

Diego: Thank you for the warning.

Captain: We’ll be dropping anchor soon. I shall say good-bye when you disembark.

[In ship’s cabin with Bernardo]

Diego: Haven’t you finished packing yet? We’ll be going ashore soon.

[Bernardo points out window]

Diego: Yes, California is beautiful. Where did you put my father’s letters? I want to read the last one again.

[Diego opens letter]

Diego: “My dear son, it is with a heavy heart that I ask you to give up your studies and come home. Certain matters have arisen that I can no longer face alone.” You know how puzzled I’ve been over this? Well, now I know what he was trying to tell us. We’re heading for trouble, Bernardo.

[Bernardo signs shooting a bow and arrow]

Diego: No, no, not Indians, politicos. I have just learned that our pueblo is under the heel of a dictator. We are certain to be searched on our arrival. Burn this. No one must suspect that my father has summoned me home. We must find a way to deal with this tyrant.

[Bernardo signs stabbing with a sword]

Diego: Ah, the direct approach? No, Bernardo. When dealing with a powerful enemy we must play another game. You know the old proverb “When you cannot clothe yourself with the skin of the lion, put on that of the fox.” I must convince the new comandante that I am perfectly harmless, but how?

[Bernardo signs reading a book]

Diego: Ah! An excellent idea! Instead of a man of action, I shall become a man of letters. An innocent scholar, interested only in arts and sciences! Why these books that I am taking to the mission priest, they will be my most prized possession! Ha, ha!

[Diego looks in box]

Diego: Well, as for these fencing medals and trophies… They are no longer part of my life. Throw them overboard.

[Bernardo closes box]

Diego: No, Bernardo. Get rid of them. Here. This too. Go. Bernardo this is no time for sentiment. Throw them out!

[Bernardo throws trophies out window]

Diego: Now, get me my fanciest jacket. The one with the gold braid. And my walking stick. It shall be part of my new character.

[Bernardo signs asking what character he shall play]

Diego: You also, you also want to be something you are not? Very well. You shall play the fool!

[Bernardo pulls on his ears]

Diego: You want to pretend you cannot hear? Even better! You shall be the eyes and ears behind my back. From now on, you not only cannot speak, you hear nothing. Bravo, Bernardo.

[Coach drives into Los Angeles]

Diego: Cochero, why are we stopping here?

Cochero: All vehicles passing through Los Angeles must be inspected, patrón.

Diego: But this is an imposition. We have already gone through customs!

Sergeant García: All baggage to be opened! Passengers have their identity papers ready. Don Diego de la Vega! I thought you were still in Spain.

Diego: Obviously, I have returned sergeant. What is this nonsense about another inspection?

García: For you, Don Diego, a, a mere formality!

Diego: Oh, then my luggage does not have to be opened again?

García: Forgive me, please, but Capitán Monastario, he allows no exceptions.

Diego: Is, uh, he the new comandante?

García: Ah, for over a year now. Please, señor. He makes the orders, I only carry them out.

Diego: Very well then, sergeant, get on with it.

García: Sí.

[Diego signs to Bernardo to open the luggage]

García: What is this?

Diego: Oh, I’m instructing my mozo to remove the luggage.

García: He is deaf and dumb?

Diego: Since childhood, but he’s a remarkably good manservant.

García: Well, with your permission, Don Diego, I shall tell the comandante that you have arrived.

[García knocks on door to comandante’s office]

Capitán Monastario: ¡Pase!

García: Forgive the interruption, mi capitán.

Monastario: What is it?

García: Diego de la Vega, the son of Don Alejandro, has just returned from Spain.

Monastario: Very well, García. Have him wait, I will see him in a moment.

García: Yes, comandante.

Licenciado Piña: I don’t like it. Why has the son returned so unexpectedly?

Monastario: What difference does it make, licenciado?

Licenciado Piña: The de la Vega’s are the most important family in southern California. Do you think Don Alejandro called him back?

Monastario: Even if he did there’s nothing to worry about. If he is a troublemaker I shall handle him as I did all the others. Nothing shall stop me from being the richest man in all of California!

[Outside the cuartel]

García: Capitán Monastario will see you in a little moment, Don Diego.

Diego: Very well, sergeant. Would you mind helping my manservant with the luggage, please?

García: Sí, Don Diego, sí.

[Man guarded by soldiers rides into town]

García: Out of the way! Clear the street!

Diego: Sergeant García, that is my neighbor, Nacho Torres. Why is he being brought in?

García: ¿Quién sabe? Don Diego. The comandante ordered his arrest

Alcalde: One moment. Why have you taken this man prisoner?

Don Nacho Torres: Help me, señor alcalde. I am innocent!

Alcalde: What are the charges against you, Don Nacho?

Don Nacho: They accuse me of treason, but it is a lie. I dare to speak out against injustice.

Monastario: It is forbidden to speak to this prisoner. Take him inside and lock him up!

Alcalde: I must protest, capitán! This man is no criminal!

Monastario: Señor alcalde, this case is not a civil matter. The crime of treason comes under military jurisdiction.

[Monastario walks over to Diego]

Monastario: Are you Diego de la Vega?

Diego: At your service, comandante.

Monastario: Capitán Enrique Sanchez Monastario. I am sorry to inconvenience you.

Diego: No, comandante. As a matter of fact, it gave me the opportunity to finish this last chapter. The Effects of Moorish Culture on Spanish Poetry. Have you read it?

Monastario: No, I have not.

Diego: Oh, then I must lend it to you when I have finished.

Monastario: Thank you. Some other time. Would you please make yourself comfortable in my quarters? I shall not detain you long.

Licenciado Piña: Did he say why he has returned?

Monastario: I shall find out, but certainly we have nothing to fear from that fastidious señorito. Get back to the inn. We should not be seen together.

[Monastario sees Bernardo on the coach]

Monastario: What are you doing up there? You! Come down here! I’ll teach you to spy on me. Come down, I say! What are you doing here? Speak!

García: Your pardon, capitán, your pardon! But this man, he cannot answer you. He is deaf and dumb.

Monastario: Who is he?

García: Don Diego’s servant. He brought him from Spain.

Monastario: Are you certain he cannot hear?

García: Oh, positive. Watch this.

[to Bernardo]

García: You have the face of a donkey! You-you smell like a goat! Your father… you father was a baboon!

Monastario: Get on with the inspection, sergeant. And make sure to inspect carefully!

[García and Bernardo climb the carriage, Monastario fires a gun behind them]

García: Help!

Monastario: Carry on, sargento.

[Monastario enters his office again]

Monastario: I know you are anxious to be on your way home.

Diego: Yes, it’s been a most fatiguing day.

Monastario: Please fill out this brief declarations, if you don’t mind. Your return is rather unexpected, is it not? Your father gave the impression that you would be at the university another year.

Diego: Well, I decided to forgo it. There was an overemphasis on gymnastics, swordsmanship. Do you know there were even duels among some of the students.

Monastario: Really?

[Monastario swings his sword cutting the quill Diego is holding]

Monastario: Ooh! How this Toldeo blade sings. A thousand pardons, Don Diego. Your father would never forgive me if anything happened to you.

[García enters]

García: Sergeant García begs to report that the inspection is complete, mi capitán.

Monastario: Good.

Diego: I trust you found no contraband?

García: Every trunk and bag seemed full of books. Heavy ones!

[Monastario hands García his sword]

García: What do you want me to do with this, capitán?

Monastario: Hang it in my quarters, stupid one!

García: Oh.

[Monastario turns away and Diego jabs him with the quill]

Monastario: Ow!

[Monastario turns to García]

Monastario: ¡Baboso! Put it away!

Diego: Well, I really must be going, comandante. It’s been very nice.

Monastario: Gracias, Señor de Vega.

[Coach stops in front of hacienda]

Juan: Welcome home, Don Diego!

Diego: Juan! It’s good to see you! Is this Pepito? How is my father? Have you taken good care of him?

Juan: We have tried, Don Diego.

Diego: Juan, this is Bernardo. He cannot speak nor hear but he would die for me if necessary. Show him where my room is.

Juan: Sí, patrón.

[Diego enters the gate]

Diego: Father!

Alejandro de la Vega: My son! It fills my heart to see you again! I send a boy to Spain, and a man returns! Diego, I have many things to tell you, but they can wait until you have changed and we have had supper. Come, your old room is waiting for you.

[In the sala Diego is playing the piano]

Diego: The vaqueros use to sing this as they rode home from work. You know, this piano needs tuning.

Alejandro: Are you not interested at all in what I have been telling you?

Diego: Extremely so, Father. I am sorry to find the situation so unpleasant.

Alejandro: Unpleasant? It is intolerable! The rancheros are being taxed out of existence. Those who cannot pay are flogged and thrown into prison. The Indians are torn from their families and forced into slave labor. All for the benefit of one man, Capitán Monastario!

Diego: I’ve met the gentleman.

Alejandro: Gentleman? Ha! He is a blackhearted scoundrel! If he remains in power, our country faces ruin. We must get rid of him, Diego! That’s why I called you home. Someone must do something!

Diego: You’re right, Father. I’m going to sit down and write a detailed letter of complaint to the governor!

Alejandro: It would never reach him. Monastario’s guards intercept all mail sent to Monterrey. Our neighbor, Nacho Torres dared to protest and this morning he was arrested for treason.

Diego: Well, have you, have you appealed to the civil authorities? Certainly we have rights under the law?

Alejandro: Monastario is the law! He brought in a crooked lawyer from Mexico City to make his crimes appear legal!

Diego: Then I fail to see what we can do.

Alejandro: We can stand up to him, fight him!

Diego: Calm yourself, Father. The use of force should be our last resort.

Alejandro: I hardly expected such...such discretion from a son of mine. You are tired, my boy. Go to your room and sleep on it. We shall discuss it tomorrow.

Diego: With your permission.

[In Diego’s room]

Diego: Bernardo, I’ve just had to do something I’m not very proud of, I’ve convinced my father that I’m a spineless weakling. And if I were to take open action, as he wants to do, his life would be in danger. Now I’m free to act alone. You remember what I said this morning? “If you cannot clothe yourself in the skin of the lion, put on that of the fox.” Well, from now on, I shall be Zorro, the fox!

[Diego carves a Z into a piece of sheet music]

[The next day Diego and Bernardo ride to the box canyon]

Diego: I’ve brought you out here to meet a third member, an ally. Like you he can be trusted to keep a secret, Bernardo. His name is Tornado. An old shepherd has been keeping him for me. He was a colt when I left.

[Diego walks to Tornado]

Diego: Tornado, Tornado. Come here. Here, Tornado. Come on, boy. Here, boy. That’s a good horse. I’ve got something for you. Come on. Here, I have a carrot for you. Here, boy. There. Yeah. It’s been such a long time, huh? Have you forgotten the tricks I taught you? Oh. You think you can kneel? Come on. Let’s see if you can kneel. Kneel, Tornado, kneel. Kneel, kneel. Good boy!

[Diego takes Tornado’s mane and leads him to Bernardo]

Diego: That’s a horse, huh? Well, Bernardo, our second mission is accomplished. Even my father wouldn’t recognize this horse. Tornado, you and I are going for a long ride tonight. Come, boy.

[Los Angeles plaza at night]

Town crier: Ten o’clock! On a warm summer night all is well!

[Monastario exits his office]

Monastario: Sergeant García!

García: At you orders, mi capitán!

Monastario: Bar the gate and dismiss the guard. Leave one patrol saddled. After final inspection, report to me.

García: Very good, señor comandante.

[García walks away]

García: Bar the gate!

[Monastario goes inside his office]

Licenciado Piña: How long must we wait?

Monastario: Half an hour or so. By then, everyone will be asleep.

Licenciado Piña: Suppose something goes wrong!

Monastario: You are more of an old woman than you are a lawyer. What can go wrong? And stop pacing about! You will make me nervous. Better still, wait in my quarters until the sergeant reports, and don’t worry!

[Zorro sneaks into the cuartel, García walks to the cells]

García: Well, Señor Torres, you are still here, I see. All safe and snug for the night, eh? Buenas noches, señor. Sleep well.

[Zorro sabotages the horse saddles, García enters Monastario’s office]

García: All prisoners accounted for, mi capitán.

Monastario: Is the prisoner Torres secure? He is a dangerous man, sergeant, full of much cunning.

García: I, myself, have just examined his cell.

Monastario: ¡Excelente! I will mention you in this report, García.

García: ¡Gracias, señor comandante!

Monastario: You may go to bed now, sergeant. And, leave your keys on the desk.

García: ¡Gracias, capitán!

[Zorro comes to the cell door]

Zorro: Señor Torres!

Don Nacho: Who are you?

Zorro: A friend. I’ve come to help you.

Don Nacho: God love you, friend, but how can you help me? I am chained like an animal.

Zorro: Who has the keys?

Don Nacho: Sergeant García.

Zorro: Then I will relieve him of them!

[In Monastario’s office]

Monastario: Now, in a little while, you will take the keys and release the prisoner.

Licenciado Piña: But won’t he suspect something?

Monastario: You are a lawyer. You will tell him you have reviewed his case and there has been a mistake. When he crosses the courtyard you will give the alarm. I will be waiting right here. It’s already in my report. “Fugitive shot while attempting to escape.”

[García’s quarters]

García: La la la la la lahhhhh

[Zorro puts his sword to García’s back]

Zorro: The slightest sound will be your last!

García: What do you want from me?

Zorro: The keys.

García: Keys?

Zorro: To the cell door and the prisoner’s chains.

García: The comandante has the keys. I just gave them to him.

Zorro: Get up! Go to the corner.

García: You’re not going to kill me, are you?

Zorro: Not unless you move. I’ll be standing right behind you!

[Licenciado Piña exits Monastario’s office and goes to the cell]

Licenciado Piña: I have good news for you, Señor Torres. I’ve come to set you free.

Don Nacho: Why are you releasing me now? You are the lawyer who signed the accusation papers.

Licenciado Piña: I have just discovered that the charges against you are false.

Zorro: Thank you, licenciado. You have most kindly solved the problem for us. I advise you to make no outcry. Señor Torres, I do not trust this lawyer. Chain him to the bars. Now, close his mouth. Now I suggest we take our leave over the wall. There’s a horse by the tree.

Don Nacho: Señor, who are you?

Zorro: A friend of the people. ¡El Zorro!

[Zorro carves a Z into the cell wall]

[Monastario exits his office and shoots at Zorro and Don Nacho then begins to duel Zorro]

Zorro: Escape while you can!

Monastario: Sergeant García! Sergeant García! García! Sergeant García!

[Monastario tries to stab Zorro but stabs the wall]

Zorro: Beautiful! Coupé to the wall. You must show me that again, comandante! Now would you please get inside the cell?

García: Lancers to arm! Our comandante is in danger!

Monastario: Who is that masked demon?

Licenciado Piña: I don’t know, he calls himself El Zorro.

Monastario: Zorro? The Fox. García, idiota, pick up your sword and fight!

[Zorro holds García at sword point]

García: Oh! Oh, señor.

Monastario: Lancers! To arms! To arms!

García: Please, señor.

Monastario: Fight!

[Zorro pushes García into a well]

Monastario: Do not let him get away! After him! To your horses, stupid ones! They must not escape!

García: To horse! To horse!

Monastario: After them!

García: Open the gate!

[Zorro escapes the cuartel and rides to catch up with Don Nacho]

Zorro: Go to the mission at San Gabriel. Padre Felipe will give you asylum there.

Don Nacho: I do not know who you are, Señor Zorro, but I owe you my life. I will never forget.

THE SIGN OF ZORRO (Dir: Norman Foster & Lewis R Foster, 1958)

 Guy Williams stars as the vigilante hero who "makes the sign of a Z" in Walt Disney's feature film version of the hit Zorro TV series, broadcast on the ABC network from 1957-59.

 Following a lengthy absence, Don Diego (Guy Williams) returns home to the Spanish Californian pueblo of Los Angeles. Finding his hometown under the rule of cruel Captain Monastario (Britt Lomand), he dons a black cape, assumes the new identity of Zorro and determines to overthrow Monastario and restore order to the pueblo. Cue lots of sword fights!

 As with Disney's earlier feature Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier (Norman Foster, 1955), The Sign of Zorro was edited together from episodes of a TV series. Screened in black and white but filmed in colour, Davy Crockett was a high quality production that transferred to the cinema with ease. Zorro was a more modestly budgeted production shot in black and white. Its static camera work and proliferation of close-ups did not hold up as well on the big screen. The cobbling together of various episodes results in a somewhat disjointed narrative with multiple climaxes and plot threads which are never properly resolved.

 That said, the movie does have it compensations. Guy Williams makes for an appealing, athletic hero and is well supported by Gene Sheldon as mute man servant Bernardo and Henry Calvin as local law enforcer Sergeant Garcia; their deft comic performances nicely complementing the lighthearted heroics.

 While the movie did not manage to repeat the success of the superior Davy Crockett, it did well enough to warrant a sequel. However, Zorro the Avenger (Charles Barton, 1959) was marketed solely to international audiences and was not released in the US.

Despite its shortcomings, this is an entertaining movie, thanks to its appealing cast and general good-natured ambience. If, like me, you enjoy a bit of swashbuckling you will find The Sign of Zorro has an easy going charm that is hard to resist. Slightly shabby but a lot of fun!

PSA: ACTIVITY & MUSES

I’m planning on being here some more soon because I have a few days off coming up, so, for any new followers, these are my most active (or, at least, my loudest) muses, currently, listed in order of most to least active.

ANYA Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanova // @keepingupmycourage

Anastasia (1997) and the Broadway production of the same name; also now includes Anastasia (1956); takes into account historical research

OLGA NIKOLAEVNA ROMANOVA // @quietlydistinct

Based within Anastasia, the Broadway production; takes into account historical research. I intend for it to include Maria Nikolaevna at some point, but thus far Olga has been the loudest.

THE OPERA GHOST // @amonstrousphantom

Leroux’s The Phantom of the Opera with knowledge of the musical and preference toward Ramin Karimloo’s portrayal.

various Sherlock Holmes adaptions with a high preference toward Rachel McAdam’s portrayal in Sherlock Holmes (2009) and in its sequel, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011)

MYCROFT HOLMES // @artxinxthexblood

Largely Elementary-based with knowledge and influence of other Holmes adaptions.

SIR PERCIVAL BLAKENEY, BARONET // @demmedxelusive

SANCTUARY muses, canon & original // @onlyxthexchosen

This includes canon muses such as Nikola Tesla and John Druitt, as well as various other literary and historical figures as seen in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen that have been adapted such as Doc Holliday, Captain Nemo, Alan Quartermain, Puck, etc.

My other muses, who are not as awake but might be piqued for the right storyline, will be listed below the cut.

Gleb Vaganov // @thesilenceafter // Anastasia Broadway production

Dmitry Sudayev // @somekindofconman // Anastasia (1997) and the Broadway production of the same name

Megara // @bewarethepatientwoman // Disney’s Hercules with a strong knowledge of Greek lore

My biggest disappointment about the new Spanish Zorro series is that captain Enrique Sanchez Monasterio has exactly opposite personality to captain Enrique Sanchez Monastario.

Boasting postcards from a friend of mine🌵🥰

A modern San Francisco postcard, three vintage ones from rare black and white Argentinean set and one from the famous color Walt Disney set, the same age as WDZ.

Few people know that since childhood I have loved sets of postcards depicting cities, actors, etc. And now I have two dreams: to make a notebook for myself with these postcards (I make notebooks with my own hands), and in the future to buy complete sets of postcards (preferably in perfect condition) dedicated to WDZ and Tyrone Power's Zorro.

And in a roundabout way this winged man, set in silver, finally flew to me. This is a painted miniature on labradorite and a gift from the artist, who is my old friend @letmeinimafairy.

Bio: Don Diego de la Vega is depicted as a former University student, newly recalled by his father from Spain to his home outside El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora Reina de los Ángeles sobre El Rio Porciuncula (later shortened as Los Angeles). Just before reaching California, Diego learns of the tyranny of Captain Monastario from the ship's captain, and realizes that his father, Don Alejandro , summoned him to help fight this injustice. Although he won medals for his fencing back in Spain, Diego decides that his best course of action is to conceal his ability with a sword, and to affect the demeanor of a milquetoast intellectual rather than a decisive man of action. His alter ego, Zorro, operates primarily at night, taking the direct action that Diego cannot. Diego relies heavily on his wits, both with and without the mask on.

#Bio #{Zorro: Unmasked}#//I'm so sorry for making his bio so short but i don't know what to add for the moment.
