I'll admit to being a huge Frank Langella fan, but he definitely adds a demeanor to the role that is less 'superhero' as in the other Zorros. He plays the buffoon part well and Ricardo Montalban is a super antagonist to his Zorro. Everyone plays right into the game and Langella's voice and mannerisms (acting) really makes the role. While there is some romance, it does not detract from the main goal of Zorro. The scenes with him and his promised bride are short, intensely romantic without being over the top. He also plays the role with his father while showing the pain it causes in his heart to deceive his father. He plays the parts so well
