OC Weekly – “Zorro Rescues Santa Ana from Itself”

by Matt Coker, Story on OC Film Fiesta, 2011:

Who would have guessed it would have taken a gringo playing a Spaniard nicknamed fox who was introduced in a 1919 story set in San Juan Capistrano to save the effed-up Santa Ana City Hall from itself?

And yet, Douglas Fairbanks will be on the big screen again tonight, in his classic 1920 silent film The Mark of Zorro, kicking off the second annual, 16-day–and, most important–FREE OC Film Fiesta.
