Profile of The Adventures of Robin Hood

The mood of The Adventures of Robin Hood is stylized, exciting, and humorous. The plot centers around a folk hero, an uninhibited rivalry, and a daring rescue. It is an action, adventure, and period movie. Stylistically, The Adventures of Robin Hood is epic. In approach, it is realistic. It takes place, at least partly, in the woods. The Adventures of Robin Hood is set in England. It happens in the middle ages. It is drawn from a folktale and a remake. The Adventures of Robin Hood is known for being groundbreaking and an Oscar winner. It is especially suggested for a date night, a family outing, and teens.

Summary of 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 élan, 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-color 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.

TV Guide

Only a spirited and extravagant production could do justice to the Robin Hood legend; this film is more than equal to the task. Korngold's score won a well-deserved Oscar, as did the editing and art direction. Full Review

What a classic film! The story is one we all know, whether from Disney or Mel Brooks, but it is worth seeing again - especially with Errol Flynn lighting up the screen. I originally watched it for the cheese factor (which can be high at times) but... Read and rate it

This is just a great, fun movie. Without apparent satire or social message (except, of course, "rob from the rich and give to the poor"), Robin Hood fights the bad guys, escapes his execution, wins Maid Marian's heart and saves the king from the... Read and rate it
