Yes, in this regard, the Zorro story is very similar to The Scarlet Pimpernel, and which predated the original Zorro publications by some 14 years.

Yes, ironic isn't it Eric, that that thread I started a while back and where I posed the question "Don Ameche or George Brent?" in this 1941 W-B Hollywood Steps Out cartoon, also freatured Jerry Colonna and his catchphrase here. You probably know the origin of this catchphrase, don't you. However for those who might not: In the 1930s on Bob Hope’s radio show there was a musical guest named Yehudi Menuhin. His name proved so catchy, along with sidekick Jerry Colonna’s joking phrase, “Who’s Yehudi?” that it entered the common vernacular, coming to refer to anyone, or anything, mysterious.

I dunno, but the more I think about this, I think my coinage up there of the word "Gard" in this regard should take root within the general lexicon, if ya ask ME! And differentiating THIS word from someone responsible for watching over something because it wouldn't be spelled with one of those superfluous 'u's in it!!! (...in fact, I've NOW got a good mind to contact those fellas at Merriam-Webster to get the ball rollin' on this...I'm not gonna bother contactin' those fellas at Oxford because they've never seemed to understand why some of those 'u's in some words just aren't necessary)

And then some 30 years later, and perhaps a little less animated but still a very memorable performance of this little ditty by Groucho, you have...

That's a good question, Tex. Unfortunately, the Wiki page for "Soundies" says nothing about the possible censoring of any of their content.

I know, RIGHT?! Now, while maybe Vera Miles didn't have one (like Gene Tierney or Abby Dalton..two of my favs with overbites), I DO have to say I still always thought she pretty darn attractive too, ya know. And so, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Miss Miles! (...or should I say "Miss Jorgensen" here)

Oh, heck! And here I THOUGHT this thread was gonna be about the "Laurie Jorgensen" who graduated with me back in 1970 from Gardena High School! (a working class suburb within the greater Los Angeles area) And here after ALL these years, AND just the other day, I was just thinkin' about her and wonderin' whatever became of her. Ya see, I always thought she was kind'a hot, and even though most of my buddies never thought so. Maybe it was because she needed to have her teeth done, but I always looked past all that. Guess my buddies who always called her "bucktoothed' couldn't do that, or were never into that whole overbite look thing like I was. And, I always liked what she did with her hair, too. The way she ratted it up in back. But NOOOO! Only to find THIS was about Vera Miles here. (...man, Ari...you sure know how to pull the rug out from under a guy sometimes, don't ya!!!)

And long time SNL cast member Kate McKinnon quite often plays men in that program's skits. In fact, she might be the present predominant purveyor of it. (...hey, say THAT three times fast...I dare ya)

Actually Sepia, I think the term for this is "Gard". Get IT? "Drag" spelled backwards! (...okay okay...so maybe not)

Ya know Tiki, funny, but this very same thought also crossed my mind while watching Svengoolie's presentation last night, and yeah, when Virginia Grey was turned in profile to the camera, especially. (,,,and now regarding Drew...I'm sure you'll probably laugh at this, but she somehow has always reminded me of...wait for it...George Reeves...yep, early TV's Superman)

Oh, I dunno, Mr.G. Don't ya think it never got any worse than... (...gotta love the gun toss scene here though, don't ya...yep, might be the funniest unintentionally funny scene ever put on film...I LOL everytime I see it, anyway)

Yeah, well, whoever the cameraman was that day (although I still think it was probably Roddy), I thank them for documenting Natalie's beauteousness here on May 16th 1965...

So glad you added that "IMO" to this final sentence of yours here, sewhite. And because you see, I've always thought Mature's Doc Holliday in this film was a very fine piece of acting. In fact IMO, I've always thought it might be one of, if not, the best piece of acting he ever did. (...and yes yes, I know...even he would jokingly admit he wasn't that good of an actor, but I think he was being self-deprecating when he said that and maybe even a little too modest in fact)

Those videos you were looking at Vautrin were most likely the home movies made by Roddy McDowall at his Malibu beach house. I distinctly remember one of 'em that slowly panned over a sunbathing Natalie Wood. (...yummmmmy)

And, Mitchum also once again played an obsessed preacher who wasn't exactly a good guy either, in the 1968 western...

LOL Ya know Sepia, I actually thought about goin' in that direction with those two myself, but went with the "brother" aspect instead. (...however, this DOES kind'a bring up the point that I don't recall ever seein' both of 'em in any movies together, huh)

It's been quite a while since I've watched it too, but I'm pretty sure Brennan's Judge Bean meets her near the end of the film. (...and I'm also pretty sure because the film's cast list includes the credit of actress Lillian Bond as Lillie Langtry)

What, never heard of Lillie Langtry, sewhite? (...although the one pictured in that poster up there is actress Doris Davenport, who plays a homesteader's daughter and love interest to Coop's character)

Ooooowww, then it seems it's a damn GOOD thing that I'm NOW an old retired f@rt many years removed from all the little snowflakes that evidently inhabit the present day American business world, EH James?! (...SEE?!...bein' an old f@rt DOES have its advantages sometimes, doesn't it!) LOL

Wow Doug! Gotta say that I was RIGHT with ya here dude UNTIL I came upon that sentence I placed in bold letters up there!!! (...boy, you SURE know how to throw a wet blanket on "some people's" shtick around here, don't ya!) LOL

Funny, but here I always kind'a got Debra Paget's looks juxtaposed with the equally lovely and charming Lisa Gaye. (...I wonder why that is???)

Unless I've somehow overlooked their mention earlier, here's two more starring that other icon of the western genre, Gary Cooper, for consideration here. Both are excellent. (1940) Coop and Walter Brennan are terrific as the best of frenemies in this one. Coop's pentultimate western (1958) directed by Anthony Mann, and once again containing elements of a noir.

Nope, not to us gearheads, but to the all the young "sneakerheads" out there today, I'll betcha they would say it does.

And actually... ...it kind'a sort'a even looks a bit like a young Elijah Cook Jr. (...but NOT Glenn Ford)
