This film *is* theRobin Hood of the screen: it\'s merry and witty, tender and bold, impudent,dashing and brightly clad... and an undoubted legend in its own lifetime!

It\'s not only thebreathtaking adventure; it\'s a fiery and surprisingly gentle romance that isn\'tafraid of laughs.

It\'sunthinkable, once you\'ve seen it, to imagine this film with anyone other thanErrol Flynn. Every subsequent interpreter has had to struggle to reclaim thepart from the memory of his roguery and grace - and most modern \'Robin\'s havebeen handicapped by an insistence on authentic medieval murk and grime. Flynn\'sRobin Hood sports the Lincoln green of legend and a forest as brightly colored kalaidascopebackdrop, and the rich furs and silks on show at Nottingham Castle are straightout of fairy-tale; or an illuminated manuscript.

Thestory itself is purest escapist magic. Greedy barons, a wicked usurper, arightful king in exile, and a proud beauty in distress... and, of course,England\'s eponymous outlaw hero, robbing the rich to give to the poor with ajest on his lips in true swashbuckler style. The script sparkles. And thestunts, in those days before wire-fu or CGI, are all for real and still takethe breath away. Flynn was in superb physical condition at the time - co-starBasil Rathbone, who played his proud opponent and would-be suitor to Marian\'shand, Guy of Gisbourne, described him simply as \'a perfect male animal\' - andmisses no opportunity to show off his flamboyance.

Unliketoday\'s pretty-boy heroes, however, Flynn shows a surprising talent for actingwith his face alone. The expressive reaction shots throughout his boudoir scenewith Marian tell a different tale to the quickfire banter of his words, and,like Marian, despite ourselves we are drawn in. Olivia de Havilland, as Marian,is somewhat ill-served by her period costume - she is at her most beautiful inthis scene, without her hair confined in her wimple - but together they duel theirway through a classic tempestuous romance of the high-born lady and the outlaw,ultimately risking their lives to save each other. Marian is no anachronisticaction heroine, but no-one, not even Robin, can keep her from what she thinksis right.

As Guyof Gisbourne, Basil Rathbone is also playing one of the landmark roles of hiscareer, and gives a superb performance. His Gisbourne is no cardboard villain,but a clever, arrogant man, who matches wits and blades with Robin as a worthyrival, and whose courtship of Marian is not without grace. And his wily master,rufous Plantagenet Prince John (Claude Rains, in a small but well-cast part) isno fool either. He knows precisely what he wants and what he can get away with,wasting no time in bluster or empty threats.

Fewpeople can whistle \'the theme from Robin Hood\'. But the famous Korngold score,with its full orchestral depth and rousing fanfares, is as familiar today as itwas seventy five years ago, when it won its Academy Award. From the faultlesscasting through unforgettable pageantry and timeless romance to the finalspectacular duel, when Robin and Gisbourne meet \"once too often\",this picture richly deserves its reputation as *the* Robin Hood on film - fromwhich on present showing it is unlikely ever to be dethroned.

WONDERFUL BOOMING SOUNDTRACK!!!

PLEASE NOTE: I am a very fussy collector of film, and believe thatfull disclosure is the only policy.

ALSO NOTE THE PICTURES HERE ARE ALL REALLY BAD QUALITY..THE FILM IS CRYSTAL CLEAR AND VERY SHARP, FOR SOME REASON THEY ALL CAME OUT BLURRY

The FILM STOCK ISEastman LPP COLOR

A historicallysignificant film from my personal collection and one of the first films I everbought way back in the 1980’s.

Ithas one flaw:

WhenRobin and the men capture Gisbourne and his treasure chests, Robin Hood walksde Havilland and her horse to their camp at this point there is a thin emulsionline right of center. It last for about60 seconds, after that is continues its pristine condition.

FILM IS ON TWO FULL2300 Ft REELS

NOTE:

I USED A 2500 ft reel as a take up so there was never an issuewith overflow of the back reel.

Films should be re mounted on three smaller reels to avoid overflow if you think this could be a problem!
