However, he also played gruff authoritarian figures, such as Monsieur Cavaignac, who, contrary to history, demands the resignation of those responsible for the Dreyfus cover-up, in The Life of Emile Zola (1937), as well as Don Alejandro de la Vega, whose son appears to be a fop but is actually Zorro, in the 1940 version of The Mark of Zorro , starring Tyrone Power.
In 1941, he played a doctor in Shining Victory . In 1939's Gunga Din , Montagu Love reads the final stanza of Rudyard Kipling's original poem over the body of the slain Din.
