The Adventures of Robin Hood

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 40 years ago. It is a rare film where all the elements involved work perfectly together: brilliant color photography, beautiful costumes and sets, superb cast, rousing story and fine direction of Michael Curtiz. Errol Flynn, doing all his own stunts, is a force to be reckoned with, whether it's foiling evil Prince John (Claude Rains), duelling wicked Sir Guy of Gisbourne (Basil Rathbone) or winning the hand of Maid Marion (Olivia de Havilland). Robin Hood is presented here as more than just the legendary figure who robs from the rich and gives to the poor; he is also an activist hero who fights injustice and cruelty.
