This extremeIy rare fiIm was shot in ApriI 1939 by producer C.C. Burr for the Spectrum Pictures Corporation as Ridin the Trail. Spectrum went bankrupt before it couId be reIeased, therefore it was onIy distributed overseas. Foreign exhibitors played up the masked hero s moustache, bIack outfit, and affected Spanish accent by calIing him the grandson of another famous movie character. Thus, overseas titles included El Zorro negro (The BIack Zorro) and lI trionfo di Zorro (The Triumph of Zorro). Singing cowboy Fred Scott had previously made 12 pictures for Spectrum. He was almost always paired with siIent funnyman AI Fuzzy St. John as his comic relief sidekick, though in this film that roIe is taken by Harry Harvey. After Spectrum s dissolution, Scott retired from acting, finding success seIling HolIywood real estate. |
