Don Q Son of Zorro

[Hersholt's] role isn't as strong as the one he had in Greed, but it shows him capable of intense characterization that registers heavily.

Named one of the year's ten best films by The New York Times… actually outdoes its predecessor, with a stronger and more sophisticated plot, better pacing, more interesting and complex characterizations, grander production values and set design

Don Q is probably the surest-fire of all the Fairbanks pictures. It has all the stuff of which box-office knock-outs are made -- thrills, romance and speed -- and yet it never yields for an instant to the dark forces of hokum.

This plot simply exists to create difficulties for the athletic Fairbanks to overcome... His movements are almost poetically graceful, and what is more they are infused with a light spirit of comedy.
