The Mark of Zorro is a 1974 American Western television film which stars Frank Langella alongside Gilbert Roland, Yvonne De Carlo, Anne Archer, Ricardo Montalbán and Robert Middleton.[1]

It was also a backdoor pilot for a television series on which ABC-TV declined to pick up the option. The film is a direct remake of, and used Alfred Newman's acclaimed musical score for the 1940 film version along with new incidental music composed by Dominic Frontiere.
