Mask of the Avenger (1951)
In a strange combination of The Mark of Zorro and The Count of Monte Cristo, John Derek stars as a masked hero out for revenge for his father’s murder in Mask of the Avenger. There’s really no suspense, though, because in the beginning scene, Anthony Quinn is revealed to be the murderer. It would have added a little intrigue, even if it were just fifteen minutes or so, if John didn’t know who killed his father.
There’s also a watered-down romance between John and Jody Lawrance added into the plot. With the cheesy script, B-movie production values, and tv-esque music, this movie isn’t one I’d recommend adding to your list. There are so many other better 1950s adventure movies to choose from.
