Amazon.com essential video

Dashing Errol Flynn is the definitive Robin Hood in the most gloriously swashbuckling version of the legendary story. Warner Brothers reunited Michael Curtiz, their top-action director, with the winning team of Flynn and Olivia de Havilland (Maid Marian) and perennial villain Basil Rathbone as the aristocratic Sir Guy of Gisbourne, and pulled out all stops for the production. It became their costliest film to date, a grandly handsome, glowing Technicolor adventure set to a stirring, Oscar-winning score by Erich Wolfgang Korngold. The decadent Prince John (a smoothly conniving Claude Rains) takes advantage of King Richard's absence to tax the country into poverty but meets his match in the medieval guerrilla rebel Robin Hood and his Merry Men of Sherwood Forest, who rise up and, to quote a cliché coined by the film, "steal from the rich and give to the poor." Stocky Alan Hale Sr. plays Robin's loyal friend Little John (a part he played in Douglas Fairbanks's silent version), Eugene Palette the portly Friar Tuck, and Melville Cooper the bumbling Sheriff of Nottingham. Flynn's confidence and cocky charm makes for a perfect Robin Hood, and his easygoing manner is a marvelous counterpoint to Rathbone's regal bearing and courtly diction. The film climaxes in their rousing battle-to-the-finish sword fight, a magnificently choreographed scene highlighted by Curtiz's inventive use of shadows cast upon the castle walls. --Sean Axmaker

Customer Reviews:

All time Classic.......2007-06-25

One of the great action- adventure movies of all time with healthy doses of comedy and romance thrown in to boot. Flynn is just perfect in the title role and the entire cast is great: de Havilland as Marion, Rains as Prince John, Pallette as Friar Tuck, Hale as Lillte John and Rathbone as the villain. It was said that the 2 best fencers at the time in Hollywood were Flynn and Rathbone and this shows in their climactic swordfight. Last but not least, the director Curtiz who would direct Casablanca in a few years, was one the great directors. One of the all time Hollywood classic movies!

Most Loved Movie.......2007-06-15

"The Adventures of Robin Hood" still comes across as fresh and entertaining almost 70 years after its release. It was nominated for Best Picture in 1938. Carl Jules Weyl won the Oscar for the film for Best Art Direction. The delightful look of the Nottingham Palace with the high stone walls creates the perfect period atmosphere. Ralph Dawson won the Oscar for Best Editing for the film. Some of the film sequences are astonishing. The scene where the whole hall breaks into sword fight has a continual clink of crashing swords as the camera shifts from duel to duel. Erich Wolfgang's score won the other Oscar for which the picture was nominated.

Errol Flynn's career is legendary as an action hero. He was never nominated for an Oscar. His personal life, particularly the statutory charges from 1942 that earned him the phrase "in like Flynn" could have wrecked a smaller star's career, but Flynn kept going. He's probably in his quintessential moment as Robin Hood, flashing smiles, romantic sparks flying with Maid Marian and his constant good humor. It's hard not to root for a hero like Robin.

I particularly like Patric Knowles as his sidekick Will Scarlet. From the costuming that places him in brilliant red to match his character name, Knowles flashes the smile, never stealing the spotlight, but always ready to fly to Robin's defense. Knowles had a long film career that included some gems like "Expensive Husbands" & "A Bill of Divorcement," but he shined brightly in this action adventure.

Olivia deHaviland plays Marian Fitzwalter, better known as Maid Marian. The costumer highlights her face in blues & lavenders. She radiates incredible charm & grace. The scene where she stands before Prince John and declares her disgust with his actions shows steel in her her feminine character. Olivia won two Oscars for "To Each His Own" in 1946 & "The Heiress" in 1949. Her role as Marian was believable. Her loving looks let you know that Robin was one lucky man.

Eugene Pallette plays Friar Tuck. This actor had an amazing career, acting in over 180 films! His resume lists some true classics like 1916's "Intolerance," the ghostly "Topper" from 1937, "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" in 1939 & "Heaven Can Wait" in 1943. As the portly Friar Tuck, his swordfight scene with Robin is both entertaining and hilarious. He had a voice that sounded like a gravel road, but he was one of the actors that flourished in both the silent and sound eras.

Alan Hale Sr. who played Little John also had an amazing film career spanning from 1912 to 1950. His films include silent era "The Prisoner of Zenda" from 1913 to "The Inspector General" in 1949. As Little John, his burly build and contagious good humor makes him an ideal fit for Robin's band of Merry Men.

Our two main villains are both played by notable actors. As Prince John, Claude Rains is an underhanded two-faced back-stabber. He was nominated four times as Best Supporting Actor including for "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" in 1939 & "Casablanca" in 1943.

Basil Rathbone who many associate as Sherlock Holmes plays Sir Guy of Gisbourne and vows to apprehend Robin Hood. The scene where Robin captures his entourage, takes his money & sends him back in rags is (for the audience) a joyful humiliation. Rathbone was nominated for Best Supporting actor in If I Were King, a film based on the stage play by Justin Huntly McCarthy. He had also been nominated for a similar award in 1936 for "Romeo & Juliet." Neither Raines nor Rathbone ever won an Oscar, as good as they both were.

Two other actors deserve special mention. Ian Hunter played Richard the Lionheart who returns home in the nick of time to reclaim his throne. Hunter won an Oscar in 1953 for Best Original Screenplay for "Roman Holiday." Una O'Connor plays Lady Marian's attending maid Bess. Her clever comic barbs made her screen time sparkle. O'Connor was in many other films including "The Bells of St. Mary's" from 1945 & "Random Harvest" in 1942. Some may also be interested to note that the palomino horse Olivia deHaviland rides in Sherwood Forest later would be seen as Roy Rogers' Trigger.

The theme of Saxons and Normans getting along despite differences, the treatment of women, fairness in taxation and care for the poor give the film a thematic backbone. As we near the 70th anniversary of this film, it deserves its place as one of the most watched & loved of the era's movies. Enjoy!

review of robin hood.......2007-06-12

This is the best family oriented swashbuckling adventure movie ever made! And this remastered two disc version with its superb picture and many extras is well worth the purchase price!

Missing Features?.......2007-06-10

I have this exact DVD set, but some features advertised on the packaging don't appear in the DVD menus...? Specifically, on disc 2, I don't see "A Journey to Sherwood Forest", "From the Cutting Room" (including the blooper reels), "Splitting the Arrow", and "Audio-Only Delights". Misleading packaging? Defective production? Clueless viewer?

Perfect film, outstanding extras.......2007-06-09

Warners have celebrated Errol Flynn's greatest film and one of the studio's greatest achievements with this spectacular 2 disc special edition. The merits of the film are well documented - perfect casting, perfect score, a timeless adventure, spectacular colour - but the extras on this DVD are overwhelming. Try this for starters:

- a beautifully paced and delivered commentary by Rudy Behlmer, filled with interesting information from the Warner's archives and production notes
- an hilarious Daffy Duck cartoon with Porky Pig as Friar Tuck.
- recently discovered outakes from the vaults with Rudy Behlmer explaining where they fit in
- home movies during taken production.
- a complete soundtrack of Eric Wolfgang Korngold's score
- a documentary on the history of the legend of Robin Hood including scenes from Douglas Fairbank's silent version

The is just a sample of material on this DVD. It is outstanding value and a wonderful legacy of this timeless classic.

Customer Reviews:

The original Hood.......2007-06-14

Even though this movie from 1938 is in a 4 X 3 format rather than wide screen, it is still worth buying. The colors are very vivid and high definition makes it seem like your are there.

Get it just for the Extras.......2007-02-18

This is one cracking good film, and a superb transfer to HD DVD. The picture quality of the Technicolor transfer is jaw dropping. But what makes this disc even more special are the amazing extras. The special features include two documentaries, short films and cartoons, a dozen trailers for Flynn films such as Captain Blood, The Sea Hawk, and a Warner Night at the Movies feature.

Leonard Maltin's Warner Night at the Movies 1938 is a real time capsule, which recreates a full evening's movie programme of the time. In includes a vintage newsreel, musical short with Freddie Rich and His Orchestra performing several big band numbers, Katnip College cartoon, and a trailer for Angels with Dirty Faces (for any James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart or Ann Sheridan fans).

The real gems are the two documentaries, around 1 hour each, both of which are worth the price of this disc alone...

'Welcome to Sherwood: The Story of The Adventures of Robin Hood' presented by film historian Rudy Behlmer, Leonard Maltin and others features extensive interviews and archival footage of the production, cast and crew.

'Glorious Technicolor' plots the development of the Technicolor film process from beginning to end. It not only provides a great insight to the science, but features clips of the production process for some of the all time great movies such as Gone With the Wind, Red Shoes, Wizard of Oz, etc. It also includes color screen tests for a who's who of Hollywood stars of the 1930's and 40's - Ingrid Bergman, Marlene Dietrich, Bette Davis, Betty Grable, Maureen O'Hara and more. For any fan of the golden age of Hollywood this disc is a must have.

Customer Reviews:

Doggone fantastic!.......2007-03-09

This is a great video series for children who are also interested in reading or who would like to explore books suggested by Wishbone. A fantastic gift also.

Wishbone - Paw Prints of Thieves.......2007-01-20

Wishbone is a jack russell who imagines himself as characters in different works of literature. In this story, he imagines himself as Robin Hood. This is a great series for children, because it teaches them about literature. It is also a great series for anyone who loves animals. This is one of my favorites, and I definitely think it's worth buying.

Wishbone on DVD.......2005-01-06

Fans of the PBS Wishbone series will recognize this this as Wishbone's Story of Robin Hood. It's great. I was hoping that Hiteentertainment.com was going to release more of Wishbone but I guess not. For Wishbone fans it's a must-have.

Poor Quality.......2007-01-22

I got this for my 7 and 10 year old boys who are really into Robin Hood now. They watched the old disney movie of Robin Hood and loved it. However, the picture in this is often very dark making it difficult to see the actors. Also the sound is very bad. Some of the plots are a little boring. But I think my kids would still be okay with watching them if it was better quality. I wanted something not so violent or fraught with sexual innuendo, which this isn't. I just wish it was easier to watch.

Buy By The Season!.......2006-05-10

I purchased from Amazon.co.uk each of the four seasons of "The Adventures of Robin Hood" - all 143 episodes - for about $20 per season.

Digital transfer was excellent and our entire family has enjoyed the series. Packaging involved sturdy plastic cases, each containing 2 DVD's, with 8 episodes per disk. I found this a great value and wanted to recommend it to others interested in the Robin Hood series.

The BEST heroic series of the 50's.......2006-01-20

Richard Greene lives again in Volume one of the Adventures of Robin Hood. We get 4 episodes of the series including the first episode: "The Coming of Robin Hood".

Since the complete seasons are not available in US format (you can buy them at Amazon UK) this is the best way to fill up your collection with these public domain offerings.

It is worth noting that episode #3 "The Borrowed Baby" is one of the few episodes where Richard Greene doesn't appear at all. Film fans will recognize Donald Pleasence as Prince John in the 4th episode "The Ambush" along with Edward Mullhare who you might recognize from the series "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" who appeared off and on during the series run.

All in all a first rate start to the the collection (now on Volume 10).

Classic old TV adventure series.......2005-10-26

Some vintage episodes in this great old series from my youth. Sort of crude by today's standards, but crisp dialog, nifty plot twists, wonderful character developement and a terrific and nefarious collection of villains and rogues. Splendid entertainment for those cold, rainy weekends.
Enjoy a touch of the old days when programs like this were the thing to watch and enjoy.

A good souvenir from my Youth.......2005-06-17

It is a good souvenir from my Youth. It is in black and white and the sound is not perfect but it always remember me the time when I was only 8 years old. If you do not know the classic series of Robin Hood, buy at least the DVD #1 to learn of Robin of Loxley is become Robin Hood.

Old time adventures at their best.......2006-03-10

If you are looking for family entertainment that does not need to be edited in order for the whole family to watch, this is for you. The costumes and music are very well done considering the period. There is enough humor in the stories to be entertaining without being disrespectful. Action is of course much tamer than what many modern productions are. But that is a positive trait in my opinion. My children are allowed to watch these once a week, just so they get the idea of what it was like to wait when they were on TV long ago. If you like chivalry, the tale of Robin Hood and family entertainment, I recommend these highly.

Please sir I'd like some more.......2006-01-24

Another first rate set of Episodes from the 50's Series with a slightly different theme, two of the episodes: THE LITTLE PEOPLE and FLIGHT FROM FRANCE, take place outside of England.

Another different Episode is THE GOLDMAKER'S RETUEN where we see another episode without Richard Greene.

The final episode on the cd THE YORK TREASURE is my favorite and contains an interesting exchange between Little John and Robin on the subject of women that is worth the price of the cd.

The only objections I have concern timing: FLIGHT FROM FRANCE and VOL 1's AMBUSH are the 1st and 3rd parts of a three episode set concerning bringing the heir to the throne to safety in France. The episode in question (the BANDIT OF BRITTANY) should have been included. (although THE GOLDMAKER'S RETURN technically is the episode that comes before FLIGHT FROM FRANCE since the story isn't connect except for the absence of Robin in France I didn't include it as part of that story).

I would have run the THE GOLDMAKER before THE GOLDMAKER'S RETURN as well but fear not, it will come it a later volume.

Another batch of Robin Hood episodes with some of the better shows of the series.

HUBERT is the tale of a less than inspiring knight who loves a woman promised to a norman supporter of Prince John.

MY BROTHER'S KEEPER is an excellent tale of a brother murdering another and Robin's attempt to expose the murder without compromising himself. We get a glimpse of a traditional Lenten observence in Ancient England in this one.

AN APPLE FOR THE ARCHER tells the tale of an archery contest for the hand of a lady. This episode is notable for teaching how an arrow and bow is made during that time. That alone makes the episode worth your money.

THE SHERIFF'S BOOTS tells the story of a villege who's bootmakers are compeating with the mrechants of Nottingham. One of the more entertaining episdoes of the whole series. One of the 11 episodes with Rufas Cruikshank in the role of Little John.

Like all the others it is very worth your time and money.

4 more episodes of the Classic TV series with a few interesting twists:

The first two episodes THE BROTHERS and THE INTRUDERS both feature Rufus Cruickshank as Little John who took over for about 11 episodes when Aricie Duncan was injured on set while saving some kids from a falling piece of the set. Cruickshank made a good little John was a bit taller and had a deeper voice. Both actors did a first rate job on the role and I enjoy them both

FOOD FOR THOUGHT is one of several episodes that features Patrick Troughton who would later gain fame as the 2nd DOCTOR WHO. He appeared in the series several times as many different characters with heavy makeup and many voices to match.

THE DESERTED CASTLE is one of two episodes featuring the queen mother and also the second of two episdoes with the first Will Scarlett. This is one of the better episodes of the series.

Btw one thing to mention. The cases on all of these episodes have color pictures but all the episodes are black and white, but if you are reading this review you likely already know it.

Buy it. I did.

4 More episodes of that first rate 50's TV show from England. This DVD gets less stars for three reasons:

The Frightened Tailor: One of the lower quality episodes of the series concerning a list of those loyal to King Richard.

Too Many Earls: One of the silliest episodes of the series and that isn't said in a happy way concerning a fanatical nature lover and a land dispute.

The third reason is the three of the 4 episodes on this DVD have been available in other formats. Most of the other DVD in this series contained at least 2-3 shows that I had not seen since they were on TV, but when I purchased this one I only got one new show. THE PATH OF TRUE LOVE, an interesting yarn about trouble at Robin Hood's old estate.

The final episode THE MAY QUEEN is a first rate story about an attempt to swindle a young Lord out of his estate after the death of his father. This is certainly an episode that you will enjoy again and again.

Although the number of quality episodes is low you do need it to complete the set and unlike a VHS where I had to either sit through TOO MANY EARLS to get to the better ones you can select a chapter so it is still worth having.

4 More great investments in classic television are delivered by this DVD along with some really fine episodes:

ERRAND OF MERCY sees Robin & Little John help deliver medicine to those struck by St. Andrew's Fire, a very well plotted episode.

SECRET MISSION quality is reflected in the foibles of the main supporting character, however I can't explain it without telling the secret of this episode.

RANSOM is another quality episode where the son of the "villian" has a sense of fair play but it puts Robin in great danger.

CHILDREN OF THE GREENWOOD is another story where the "villian" is not as bad as he seems. A man who flees a false murder charge and the Lord of the Manor takes in his children but makes the serfs.
