El Zorro, the Irishman

I learned to swash and buckle watching Zorro in the Disney produced tv series of the same name. It only ran for three seasons between 1957 and 1959 and finally reached my local station sometime in the early ’60s. Don Diego de la Vega may have been a poetry loving fop but Zorro, the masked man with the fast horse and a sharp blade, now there was a hero.
