The Adventures Of Robin Hood - 1938 - 8/10

Errol Flynn was already a Warners star, but this vaulted him into the constellations.
Robin Hood, Little John, Will Scarlett and the Merry Men, square off against the duplicitous Prince John and his sinister henchman, Sir Guy Of Gisbourne.
Stealing from the rich, giving to the poor. In between, Robin finds time to woo Maid Marian.
While the costumes come across as Disneyish, everything else is first rate.
Lavish Korngold score, fantastic chemistry all around, thrilling sword fights.
This is the bar against which all other Robin Hood’s stand – and fail.
Note: The Laserdisc has bolder colors throughout in this Technicolor gem. The DVD, by comparison, appears washed out. I have not viewed the HD upgrade.
