5.0 out of 5 stars Zorro review-A&E Biography, July 29, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Biography - Zorro [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I really loved this biography special. It includes all of the men who portryed Zorro throughout the years (up till Antonio Bandreas in "The Mark of Zorro"), and encludes a lot of detail on each one of them. It not only talks about movies with Zorro but also many of the books with Zorro, including the book which began it all, written by Jonhston McCulley. I would recommend it to all Zorro fans so they can not only hear the history of their favorite Zorro but also learn about the other "faces" of Zorro.
