Zorro

File this one under "yet another weird Italian film where they try to do American style" in this case using a famous Frenchman to play Zorro! Throw in one of those stupid little pop songs as a theme and use it everytime the French Zorro shows up and you get where I'm going about this one. Not that this version isn't fun. Duccio Tessari, father of Fiorenza who we loved in PHENOMENA (CREEPERS), does a fair enough job with this choppy bit of fare and we have the famous Moustache as Sgt. Garcia for some interesting comic relief but all said it's along two hours even with Alain Delon in the lead.
