The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938)

For this month’s theme of ADOLESCENT POWER FANTASY we’re going to the adventurous roots of characters and actors that inspired some later interpretations of costumed heroism. The spotlight is on Errol Flynn for the rest of this month’s vintage ADOLESCENT POWER FANTASY and we’re hitting up Errol’s most prolific hit film from 1938, “The Adventures of Robin Hood” directed by Michael Curtis of “Casablanca” fame. Also starring our boy Basil Rathbone, Claude Rains and Olivia de Havilland. A very mirthful and iconic take of the Robin Hood mythos done in bold Technicolor. The most expensive movie of its day, this flick made $4 million bucks at a time when going to the movies cost 25 cents and it wasn’t even the top three earning movies that year. Hear us tell of it. Let’s dive in and get RATHBONED.
