Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The Mark of Zorro is a 1920 film starring Douglas Fairbanks. Fairbanks is Don Diego Vega, a lazy, effete nobleman in the days of Spanish California. Lolita Pulido, his fiancee in an arranged marriage, finds him dull and uninspiring. What she doesn't know is that he is actually Zorro, the masked avenger who is fighting the oppressive Governor Alvarado and his villainous henchmen Capt. Ramon and Sgt. Gonzales. Zorro crusades for justice and rallies the people of California against their oppressive overlords.This film was basically the Trope Maker for the whole Zorro franchise. It was based on the first Zorro story, "The Curse of Capistrano", published just the year before, but that story featured a Zorro who wore a sombrero and threatened people with a gun. This film invented the masked swordsman that became popular. It also marked a change in direction for Fairbanks, who had spent his career to date making light comedies but would spend the rest of The Twenties making elaborate action films.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })It was remade in 1940 with Tyrone Power and in 1974 with Frank Langella. Not to be confused with the 1998 film The Mask of Zorro though of course they are based on the same franchise.In 2015, The Mark of Zorro was selected by the Library of Congress National for preservation in the National Film Registry, finding it "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." (The 1940 version got that same honor in 2009.) | |

Alternate Company Equivalent | |
| The Mark of Zorro / int_200c8312 | comment |
Alternate Company Equivalent: Take Batman, move him to Spanish California, and remove the tragic dead parents, and you have this story. The writers of Batman even acknowledged the similarities: the film the Wayne family sees in the backstory is The Mark of Zorro. | |

Getting Crap Past the Radar | |
| The Mark of Zorro / int_4b86a724 | comment |
Getting Crap Past the Radar: The final shot has Don Diego and his Love Interest smooching behind a kerchief. While their faces are concealed, the woman's hands flutter and contort in a way that suggests it's much more than a modest peck on the cheek... | |

Sword Fight | |
| The Mark of Zorro / int_5d310fb8 | comment |
Sword Fight: Established the trope for the Zorro franchise. There's a big one with Capt. Ramon at the climax, however, the fight with Capt. Esteban in the 1940 version is widely regarded as one of the best cinematic sword fights ever. | |

Heel–Face Turn | |
| The Mark of Zorro / int_617f0563 | comment |
Heel–Face Turn: Downplayed when Gonzales rebels against Ramon and joins Zorro at the very last second after witnessing that his true identity is that of his friend Don Diego de la Vega and, mostly, that he's surrounded by rebels, all of them persons of noble heritage and noted prestige. | |
