The Adventures of Robin Hood
Dir: Michael Curtiz & William Keighley Stars: Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland, Basil Rathbone, Claude Rains 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die When I think of The Wizard of Oz, I remember how incredibly yellow the Yellow Brick Road was. Now, when I think of The Adventures of Robin Hood, I will think of how green his tights were. This film is just fantastic, full of ridiculous swashbuckling and with a saturated technicolor palette that just exudes fantasy and fun. Now I know where Men in Tights gets its inspiration...it is from Errol Flynn's performance as Robin Hood. I just ate this movie up, with some great stunt work, production design that looks like a very ornate Rennaissance festival, and some well placed humor throughout. I mentioned The Wizard of Oz before, well I believe this film is in the same league. Great Fun!!! A Bluray |
