Johnston McCulley, author of THE CURSE OF CAPISTRANO which inspired the ZORRO films, had a cabin nearby. <br /><br />I enjoyed your post on the Fairbanks ZORRO film very much. I've never seen it and have taped it although it's going to be a while before I have time to watch it, as we're leaving on vacation in a few days. :) I'll be watching for more of your posts in this series.<br /><br />Best wishes,<br />LauraLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09626109831176745957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-39773716302192270282009-05-05T21:53:00.000-04:002009-05-05T21:53:00.000-04:00Yes, I think Tyrone Power wears tight pants.

Oh well.<br /><br />Ryan - I hope your DVR feels better soon.<br /><br />Mercurie - Tyrone Power version? I'll have to check it out. Question - Does he wear tight pants? That's very important.<br /><br />Samuel - "enthusiasm of a sonambulist" I'm stealing that one. That's money!<br /><br />Lolita - Yay!<br /><br />Jonas - I hope Lolita didn't get the last one.<br /><br />John - You have just described my dream!Raquel Stecherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02687110907002450794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-54247629192516531022009-05-05T07:39:00.000-04:002009-05-05T07:39:00.000-04:00I was fortunate enough to see this at the Tampa Th...I was fortunate enough to see this at the Tampa Theater accompanied by live organ music. The film is a lot of fun, very enjoyable. If you ever get the chance to see a silent film with live music do it!
