Now at the age of 29, my 2 year old son and I watch it nearly one every other week. To me, Errol Flynn IS Robin Hood. Ms. de Havilland is one of the most beautiful women of the time. The chemistry was unreal. To everyone, you really should have this film in your collection. Was this review helpful?

"The Adventures of Robin Hood" is by far the best, since it was advanced in nearly everything for the time. In 1938, this was the most expensive film at $2 million; the cast received a modest sum, and it was one of the first movies to feature three-color Technicolor. Errol Flynn, one of the best actors as Robin, has the most energy and convincing stamina of all who have tried the part since then. He wasn't fake and a waste of Hollywood's money, unlike many actors today. Olivia de Havilland is gentle, modest, and very superb at her part as Maid Marian. No one could do a better job than she had. She had all the grace in the world and was perfect in her part. The movie would have fallen to pieces if the supporting actors weren't well at their parts, or if the cast hadn't fit together so well. There is nothing in the world better than this movie, and it is worth treasuring. Was this review helpful?

But this is one of the finest produced in that period if not THE finest, and is probably one of Flynn's best remembered roles. In feudal England, the province of Nottingham; King Richard is off on another lengthy crusade, leaving the fate of the government in the hands of his ne'er-do-well brother, John. Assuming the regal authority, the Prince sets about manipulating the Saxon populace by raising taxes and seizing property in the guise of financing the Holy Wars. Into the midst of his greed steps Sir Robin of Locksley, who shelters the opressed and robs back the ill-gotten gains of royal greed, with the aid of the King's ward; Lady Marion. In his blind tyranny, John threatens to usurp the King himself, until Robin and his merry band give fate a boost and produce an unexpected guest. This is a finely detailed swashbuckler, feauring Flynn at his heroic best; a cantankerous Eugene Palette as Friar Tuck, and a very warm-hearted performance from veteran, Alan Hale. A wonderful Film!
