User Reviews: The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938)
The Adventures of Robin Hood
Pros: Action, Adventure and Romance
Cons: none
This is the Hollywood answer to Robin Hood and it's a winner. Anyone between 3-100 years old will love this movie.
Errol Flynn portrays Sir Robin of Locksley, an Earl turned robber, who protects the poor Saxons from an evil, tyrannical king (played by Claude Raines) and his menacing henchman (played by Basil Rathbone--terrific performance).
Maid Marian (Olivia deHavilland) is well written, interesting and intelligent enough to love Robin.
Filmed in technicolor, it is visually very pretty to look at.
Warner Brothers used their stock actors to their fullest. Alan Hale, Eugene Pallette (as Friar Tuck) Una O'Connor, Patrick Knowles--none of them miss a note.
I would encourage anyone to purchase this film/dvd.Was this review helpful? Yes - NoRobin Hood never grows stale

One of the best movies ever made!
Errol Flynn at his best, DeHaviland, Rathbone, Raines, a terrific cast in this first color film. Romance, action, compelling characters&timeless story make this movie a true classic. My personal favorite.Was this review helpful? Yes - NoRobin of Loxley in Lincoln Green Cornish Hero
Pros: A Retelling of History in heroic proportion.
Cons: Reality Was Given Romantic Treatment
As a romantic tale of the early days of England this story leaves the ethnic details out of the story. There was an ethnic conflict which was given the light treatment by the tale of Robin Hood. The Celtic people of Cornwall wore the Lincoln green to show their pride in the heritage they were trying to preserve. Cornish language is no longer represented by living speakers. The folk legends are given the fairy tale treatment and the heroic tales of rebellion are made into romantic fluff.
When will Cornwall be given a true place in the history and the culture of England?Was this review helpful? Yes - No
