This movie from the 1970s, although it seems that the costumes and backgrounds are a bit outdated now, the plot setting is still very typical, and the routines are also very adaptable now. Zorro went to serve as governor in place of his murdered friend. On the surface, he is a playboy who plays the world and doesn't care about business affairs. Facing the sinister Colonel, he pretends to be mad and foolish. He secretly understands the local situation and acts chivalrous and righteousness, and rescues the beloved and beautiful girl who was forced to marry by the evil Colonel. Fast-paced, compact and humorous. The plot of his so-called aunt is very funny. The male and female protagonists are handsome, and Alain Delon is really cute and handsome. The emotional scene is also an understatement. In the end, Zorro said goodbye to his beloved girl and went to other places to act as a chivalrous person. It was a very comfortable ending.

When I was a child, I watched a series of cartoons. The black cloak, the long thin sword, and the "Z" were drawn every time, which should be the beginning of the image of foreign knights. The film is very careful in its plot, the thematic core of the legend has not changed, but an ostensibly cynical governorship has been added. The contrast between the two identities creates a lot of interesting points, such as how to cover up the identity when facing the suspicious colonel, such as the difference in the heroine's attitude towards the two identities.

Except that the action scenes are a bit embarrassing because of the age, the others are really satisfactory. A classic translation worth watching.
