Welcome to Sherwood! Dashing Errol Flynn, in the movie that made him a star, triumphs in this lavish, fast-paced adventure, the definitive film version of the Robin Hood legend from acclaimed directors Michael Curtiz (Casablanca) and William Keighley (The Prince and the Pauper). Performing many of the film’s daring stunts himself, Flynn is at his athletic, swashbuckling best in a role originally intended for James Cagney, starring opposite Olivia de Havilland (as Maid Marian), consummate screen villains Basil Rathbone (as the evil Guy of Gisbourne) and Claude Rains (as Prince John), and a boisterous who’s who of character actors. Filled with thrilling swordfights, edge-of-your-seat adventure and swooning romance, The Adventures of Robin Hood, winner of three Academy Awards and shot in eye-popping three-strip Technicolor, is a landmark in the history of Hollywood action films. (Dir. by Michael Curtiz & William Keighley, 1938, USA, 102 mins., Not Rated)
