The Adventures Of Robin Hood

In Michael Curtiz's swashbuckling spectacle about the infamous outlaw and his band of merry men who "robbed from the rich and gave to the poor," Robin Hood (Errol Flynn) fights nobly for justice against the evil Sir Guy of Gisbourne (Basil Rathbone) while striving to win the hand of the beautiful Maid Marian (Olivia de Havilland).
Flynn joyously embraces the role widely considered the best of his bountiful array of swashbuckling legends. Delivering his lines and performing dashing acrobatics (he did most of his own stunts) with breezy elan, he darts across the intricate sets of THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD as if there are rocket boosters secreted in his tights. It was one of the earliest films to use three-colour Technicolor and, at the time, the most expensive film Warner Bros. had produced. Erich Wolfgang Korngold's outstanding score won an Oscar, as did the art direction and the editing.

    Rated - 5 stars [Highly rated reviewer]

    Unbeatable Classic !!!!

    This film was made in 1938 , and despite 70 years of remakes, television series, mini-series and revisionistic attempts, nothing has come remotely close to matching the sheer excitement, spectacle and relentless pace of this film. The print now looks beautiful, but this is just a part of the magic, along with the spirited performances , breath-taking stuntwork and a rousing musical score which sweeps you along and takes no prisoners.The dvd also comes with a fascinating commentary on the making of the film which I found invaluable to listen to .Press the button to rent now, you will not regret it !!!
