Mask of the Avenger

Italy, 1851, loyal Maria (Jody Lawrance) visits the bent governor (Anthony Quinn), who is gently holding shrewd young captain Renato (John Derek), whose nobleman father he framed and killed, and who is faking his own injury, in Columbia's quasi-historical costumer Mask Of The Avenger, 1951.

Anthony Quinn, military governor in a 19th century Italian state, honest so far as we know, reveals himself, with Count Dimorna (Wilton Graff), then with aide Colardi (Arnold Moss) before the count's son, leading man John Derek, is introduced, in Columbia's Mask Of The Avenger, 1951.
