Trivia:

The Laurel and Hardy like teaming of Henry Calvin and Gene Sheldon (Sergeant Garcia and Bernardo) was such a hit that when production on this series ceased, Disney held on to the pair (in case this series would resume) by using them in two feature films, Toby Tyler, or Ten Weeks with a Circus (1960) and Babes in Toyland (1961).

Theme from Zorro

You're right!!Guy Williams is one of the best Zorros of all times!!

You're right.I'm sorry to all the fans!Guy Williams is one of the best Zorros of all times!As I grew up seeing Duncan Regher's version and later Tyrone Power on tv I thought that this two versions were the best,but no,Disney's version is as good as The Mask of Zorro,in some things is much better.I like to see Don Diego Vega played by Guy Williams.Amazing!!One show for all ages!!A culture icon!!!
