Customer Reviews of Son of Zorro [Serial]

Not the worst, but the dullest
This isn't the worst serial I've ever seen (WINNERS OF THE WEST gets that honor), but this is easily the dullest. Even the mountains of stock footage from earlier (and much better) Zorro serials can't alleviate the sheer tedium of George Turner, the world's most non-descript Masked Avenger. Opt for ZORRO'S BLACK WHIP, ZORRO RIDES AGAIN or ZORRO'S FIGHTING LEGION instead. And hey, Artisan, where's the DVD releases of the Republic serials????????

Thrills and Spills!
This l947 Republic actioner moves at jet-speed pace, thanks mainly to great performances by Peggy Stewart, as Postmistress "Kate," and her co-star George Turner. This is basically a standard westerner but the epidode endings are wonderfully inventive--especially the one where Kate and zorro are trapped in a cave with a wall of water racing toward them. Peggy is the perfect serial heroine: feisty, gutsy, and she looks great in her cowgirl outfit and does most of her own stunt work. She began making westerns in l937 with "Wells Fargo" and has appeared recently in "Seinfeld" and often guest-starred on the old Gunsmoke series. This can't compare with Republic's greatest serial: "Spy Smasher" but then few can. Still, this one is worth your money and terrific performances of Peggy, George and the others.
