''The Mark of Zorro'' is a 1920 silent film starring Douglas Fairbanks and Noah Beery, Sr.. This genre-defining swashbuckler adventure was the first movie version of ''The Mark of Zorro''. Based on the 1919 story "''The Curse of Capistrano''" by Johnston McCulley, which introduced the masked hero, Zorro, the screenplay was adapted by Fairbanks (as "Elton Thomas") and Eugene Miller. The film was produced by Fairbanks for his own production company, Douglas Fairbanks Pictures Corporation, and was the first film released through United Artists, the company formed by Fairbanks, Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, and D. W. Griffith. The character Sgt. Pedro Gonzales (Noah Beery, Sr.) was later transformed into Sgt. Demetrio Lopez Garcia (Henry Calvin) by the Disney TV series with Guy Williams as Diego/Zorro, who was renamed Don Diego de la Vega. Noah Beery, Jr. makes his first of many dozens of screen appearance spanning six decades. Of course he portrays a young child; his father began sporadically billing himself as Noah Beery, Sr. as a result. The film has been remade twice, once in 1940 (starring Tyrone Power) and again in 1974 (starring Frank Langella). ==Primary cast== *Douglas Fairbanks as Don Diego Vega/Señor Zorro *Marguerite De La Motte as Lolita Pulido *Noah Beery, Sr. as Sergeant Pedro Gonzales *Charles Hill Mailes as Don Carlos Pulido *Claire McDowell as Doña Catalina Pulido *Robert McKim as Captain Juan Ramon *George Periolat as Governor Alvarado *Walt Whitman as Father Felipe *Sidney De Gray as Don Alejandro Vega *Tote Du Crow as Bernardo, Don Diego's mute servant *Noah Beery, Jr. as Boy *Charles Stevens as Peon beaten by Sergeant Gonzales *Milton Berle (uncredited child) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Mark of Zorro (1920 film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
