Also, who was the Announcer on the TV Version!I'm sure Charles Arlington did the late 1940's Annoucing on the radio!

I think that makes the best swashbucklers. Thanks for the kind words.

I love the language that's used in some of those reviews - much like the films they don't make 'em like that anymore! But by far my favourite here is the smirking Romero, he took the idea that swashbuckling should be fun to heart!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7783521748442862584.post-8303971290655752572015-11-10T18:38:07.806-08:002015-11-10T18:38:07.806-08:00Hi Lê - Thank for saying such nice things.

If there is a Swashathon 2, I'll have to do a post like this for Zorro. I enjoyed your post a lot.

I would have never thought about the Cisco Kid for the swashbuckler blogathon, but it makes perfect sense.<br />Thanks for the kind comment!<br />LeLêhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02419693749682458647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7783521748442862584.post-87205148388880549102015-11-08T19:26:36.588-08:002015-11-08T19:26:36.588-08:00Thank you for putting this blogathon together, Fri...Thank you for putting this blogathon together, Fritzi. I'm glad you found the story of the transition from louse to good guy interesting. I think that today we don't appreciate how influential O Henry was in his time. I see references and comparisons to his stories all the time.
