Yet another of one of the fastest sword duels *and one of the best* in the whole series even outside of Zorro. *Definitely the speediest and in some ways hilarious of them in this show :D *
To this day,I can watch Zorro's clips ,it not only takes me back to my youth days but still sends shivers throughout my body, The Walt Disney Zorro was magicla!!
That would be Fred Cavens, one of the best fight arrangers of his time, he how fights were made from the 1930s onward, he got actors to have actual choreography like a dance, properly balanced like swordsmen should be and with proper attacks and parries, even a little rough and tumble as time went on. He's actually in a couple of episodes; if you've seen "Zorro Fights a Duel", you'll have seen him, he played Monsieur Gerard, the french swordsman who sparred with Ricardo. Fred was Belgium so the accent was real, which is why he's completely silent when fighting Senor Avilla in the episode "An Affair of Honour" he and his son Albert were Avilla's opponents during the Fencing gambling at the beginning. Albert was also the Ship's captain in the first episode and the Sailor fighting Zorro with a sword on the ship in the hour long special "The Postponed Wedding".
I've been reading Guy Williams' biography. Apparently, Cavens worked with all the great Zorro actors of the time: Douglas Fairbanks, Tyrone Power, and Guy Williams. Of them, he apparently said Fairbanks was the most flamboyant, Power the most serious student, and Williams the most talented. Quite a compliment for Guy!
From what I've read, Cavens was very proud of Guy and Britt Lomond. They were both keen fencers and would rehearse their duelling scenes constantly; Cavens often said that he wished all his other students could have the same level of dedication.
You know what I got a laugh out of? Carlos Murieta's excuse for his injured hand ("cut himself shaving," my left foot!), and Bernardo's sign-language comments to Diego after everyone else left - "You weren't being Zorro last night - you were acting Cupid!" I laughed just as hard as Diego did!
Guy Williams was the best Zorro Actor for me,I have seen the Before & after Zorros & Williams always came out tops,it was very sad the way he died! (a brain aneurysm) Guy Williams [ Armand Joseph Catalano ] 1/14/1924 --4/30/1989 (65) {RIP} Thnx for posting these great clips! 5+*****!
I was about five when this show came on TV, which was very new then. There was SOMETHING about this handsome man which set my young heart aflutter, and 50 years later he still does!I remember falling asleep with my Zorro comic book under my pillow, knowing he was the most handsome and exciting man alive. I think that my first crush on this sexy Spaniard is what led me to marry my sexy Mexican husband. Thanks for posting these clips which bring back great memories!
That: "oh? As you wish." is the best line ever. That acting is sooo good i love it. The way he said it too is priceless, and the way his Eyes shifted. amazing
Yes, his family was actually Italian, but he portrayed a Spaniard as Zorro. The early rancheros in California were pure Spanish before intermarrying with the local Indians. Mexicans are mixed blood of mostly Spanish and the indigenous peoples, who are also Indians. There is also some French blood, thanks to Napoleon's soldiers and his puppet emperor Maximilian. I have Mexican friends who have light hair and green eyes, probably from those French soldiers :)
@AXEFLYERFV I agree with you - I've seen Banderas play Zorro, and I've seen part of the 1940 "Mark of Zorro" movie (oh, dear Lord in Heaven, what stiff, fakey-looking acting!! I had to switch to another TH-cam video when Diego went to greet his dad). While Banderas comes in a close second, I have to agree that Guy Williams is the gold standard for Zorros everywhere! (BTW, Nigel Bruce, who I believe played a high-ranking soldier in the 1940 "Zorro" film, played Sherlock Holmes on the radio!)
@AutobotNutcase Right on, I was very young & always looked forward to watch each episode with anticipation, every time I come here ,I gotta watch more than a few here, it brings back those golden moments again! thumbs up to the uploader Corporal Reyes for keeping Guy Williams the Ultimate Zorro alive on TH-cam! & thank you for your comment my friend!!
@PaulosTheKing You may have a point - I don't think I've seen him move so quick since the fight in the tavern beside Capt. Toledano, when the "blind beggar" killed the Magistrado!
man, this is an old comment of mines, , sure ,this is the info.: When a brain aneurysm ruptures, the result is called a subarachnoid hemorrhage. Depending on the severity of the hemorrhage, brain damage or death may result.
Et voilà encore un super épisode de notre ami Zorro Guy Williams et même assis sur une chaise il sait manier l'épée un grand bravo à lui j'espère qu'il nous fera rêver encore pendant plusieurs années
It can't believe that a avid TV watcher as a kid I did not see this show. It must have aired in the time slot of a show my father and liked or my sisters liked. I wish knew what was the show that prevented me from seeing Zorro. I know that Ed Sullivan prevented me from seeing the Flintstones!!!! I hated that!!!! In those days few families in my poor neighborhood has two TV Sets!!!
@@visionfugitive Once Ed Sullivan had the Beatles on his show right at the start of Beatlemania!!! And Soup Sales had follow their act with him singing "The Mouse". I was only 10 years old and I felt really bad for Soupy. Let's face it he had "a tough act to follow" Lol!!!!
@jimjam69: Sean Connery had his rivals (Roger Moore, Pierce Brosnam, etc), but no one compares to Guy Williams. :)
Yet another of one of the fastest sword duels *and one of the best* in the whole series even outside of Zorro. *Definitely the speediest and in some ways hilarious of them in this show :D *
Excelent scene!! one of the best fencing figths of the serie!!!
Guy Williams was born to play Zorro
To this day,I can watch Zorro's clips ,it not only takes me back to my youth days but still sends shivers throughout my body,
The Walt Disney Zorro was magicla!!
I started cracking up when Bernado signed that Diego wasn't Zorro, he was Cupid :)
I love how he sat in that chair fighting with his 'cheeky' smile. Guy Williams was real Zorro.
+Klaudia Grobl Guy Williams is the ONE and ONLY TRUE Zorro!!! =)
Disney hired an expert swordsman to practice with Williams, even he commented on how skillful Guy was.
That would be Fred Cavens, one of the best fight arrangers of his time, he how fights were made from the 1930s onward, he got actors to have actual choreography like a dance, properly balanced like swordsmen should be and with proper attacks and parries, even a little rough and tumble as time went on.

Yes, Fred Cavens was a strict instructor, so a compliment from him is no small thing.
From what I've read, Cavens was very proud of Guy and Britt Lomond. They were both keen fencers and would rehearse their duelling scenes constantly; Cavens often said that he wished all his other students could have the same level of dedication.
You know what I got a laugh out of? Carlos Murieta's excuse for his injured hand ("cut himself shaving," my left foot!), and Bernardo's sign-language comments to Diego after everyone else left - "You weren't being Zorro last night - you were acting Cupid!" I laughed just as hard as Diego did!
4:08
"Let me cross swords with you senor Zorro, and you will soon see which is a coward!"
"Oh?" haha lol
Guy Williams was the best Zorro Actor for me,I have seen the Before & after Zorros & Williams always came out tops,it was very sad the way he died! (a brain aneurysm)

LOL!! You had a crush on Zorro?! Thats awsome (in a humurous way)! But yeah, I think this series is the best. Maybe even better than the Zorro movies.
Yes, his family was actually Italian, but he portrayed a Spaniard as Zorro. The early rancheros in California were pure Spanish before intermarrying with the local Indians. Mexicans are mixed blood of mostly Spanish and the indigenous peoples, who are also Indians. There is also some French blood, thanks to Napoleon's soldiers and his puppet emperor Maximilian.

"oh? as you wish" loveeee that part. The way he shifts his eyes there haha
At the very end, the part where Bernardo signs to Diego that he is Cupid instead of Zorro is priceless!
Pppp00
That "oh? as you wish" at 4:08 just melts me
@AXEFLYERFV I agree with you - I've seen Banderas play Zorro, and I've seen part of the 1940 "Mark of Zorro" movie (oh, dear Lord in Heaven, what stiff, fakey-looking acting!!

naw, he played dr, watson
This is always great! Thank you Corporal!
This fencing between Zorro and the man with the whip is amongst the best by far in all this Zorro-series!!!!!!!! :-))))))))
Ahh, Zorro on a balcony.... :) need I say more? hehe.
@AutobotNutcase Right on, I was very young & always looked forward to watch each episode with anticipation, every time I come here ,I gotta watch more than a few here, it brings back those golden moments again!
thumbs up to the uploader Corporal Reyes for keeping Guy Williams the Ultimate Zorro alive on TH-cam!
& thank you for your comment my friend!!
Zorro is simply the best!
Thanks
Lol! I love when Zorro sits down in the middle of fencing just to mess w/ the whip guy. XD
guy williams is great zorro...... well good movie thanks
Yep, gotta love Bernardo. LOL!!!
@AXEFLYERFV and also Antonio Banderas plays it very good, But he is still the best.
Dude that was sooo good! It made me laugh too! (I wonder why other heroes dont do that).
@PaulosTheKing You may have a point - I don't think I've seen him move so quick since the fight in the tavern beside Capt. Toledano, when the "blind beggar" killed the Magistrado!
Most welcome!
man, this is an old comment of mines, , sure ,this is the info.:
When a brain aneurysm ruptures, the result is called a subarachnoid hemorrhage. Depending on the severity of the hemorrhage, brain damage or death may result.
Ahh, the famous hero's line: "This is a job for..."
@HEIGHTSIXFIVE: It is DEFINITELY better than the Zorro movies. Can you name any good Zorro movies?
I couldn't agree more!
Kl, Guy Williams is actually Italian though ^^
Sorry but can you explain what brain aneurysm is?
Must have been a delight for Zorro fans to see John Robinson wield a sword in that Lost in Space episode.
If he is a hero of the old west, ¿what happen if he have a crossover with the longe ranger and the magnificent seven?
This episode has been a bug in my brain for years. Here it is. Good lord.

Ed Sullivan wasn't too bad tho, there's worse out there especially now ;)
@@visionfugitive Actually, Ed Sullivan was great! However, at age 7 I really couldn't appreciate his show. At age 7 I liked cartoons more.
@@BingCherry11 i totally understand, at 7 i too only wanted to watch zorro
@@visionfugitive Once Ed Sullivan had the Beatles on his show right at the start of Beatlemania!!! And Soup Sales had follow their act with him singing "The Mouse". I was only 10 years old and I felt really bad for Soupy. Let's face it he had "a tough act to follow" Lol!!!!
Thanks for the info dude
I know ^^
