The San Fernando Valley Historical Society is proud to present the 1940 film “The Mark of Zorro” starring Tyrone Power, Linda Darnell and Basil Rathbone.
“In Madrid, around 1822 the talented aristocratic military swordsman and rider Don Diego de Vega (Tyrone Power) returns to the Mexican California to reunite with his father, the mayor of Los Angeles, and his mother. When Don Diego arrives in Los Angeles, he finds that his father has been removed from office by the sinister Captain Pasqule (Basil Rathbone) and replaced by the tyrannous Alcalde Don Luis Quintero.

By day, the crooked politicians rob the citizenry at every turn, and at night, Don Diego, wearing a mask, defies their laws and avenges the innocents. As he leaves his trademark, the letter “Z” wherever he goes, he also leaves an impression on the mayor’s niece (Linda Darnell), who can not help but love the hero in disguise.”
