THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD
Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland, Basil Rathbone
Turner/Warner Bros.; Directed by Michael Curtiz and William Keighley
Not Rated; 102 minutes; 1938
One of the most successful and entertaining adventure films of all-time. THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD has a vibrancy as fresh and stirring today as it had years ago. Errol Flynn as Robin Hood is a force to be reckoned with, whether it's foiling evil Prince John (Claude Rains), dueling wicked Sir Guy Gisbourne (Basil Rathbone), or winning the hand of Maid Marian (Olivia de Havilland). Robin Hood is presented as more than just the legendary figure who robs from the rich and gives to the poor; he is an activist-hero who fights injustice and cruelty.
