The Adventures Of Robin Hood - Away To Sherwood Forest!

- The best Robin Hood swashbuckler ever. Which negates the necessity for a review, makes it redundant. There is no real need. Apart from, I wanted to do one. So, on a whim, that’s what I’ve done.

This is classic Hollywood film making at it's finest ! This film always is in my top five list of greatest movies of all time. You mentioned you never getting a chance to see it on the big screen , I have the luck of having the American Film Institute Theater in Silver Spring, Maryland a suburb of Washington D.C. near my home that runs classic films on the big screen all the time. When ever they can they will show Robin Hood and it does my heart good to watch the audience attendance sweal with not only fans my age but families bringing their children and grandchildren to watch this movie to pass on a love of this classic.
Some things are truly timeless, like great art. This is but one testament to that. Thanks for commenting, Keith, with some great personal background. Appreciated. T.
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing. I envy you. Our town's local Cinema burned down in the early 1970s, never to be rebuilt. How I wish we had what you have. Best Wishes.
That sword fight is probably the best ever. Rathbone was a great villain and yet a superb Sherlock Holmes. The whole cast was great.
They certainty don't make em like Errol anymore.
Nigh on perfect action adventure film making. T.
Thought I'd make an effort to do something worthwhile this year rather than my usual beer, curry and avoidance. I'll be doing those things as well - just about to make a start in fact. But meanwhile, I'm glad to see the four uploads hit the channel all at the same time as planned. I may never do it again, but you never know. Many thanks, Tom. T.
Great review again Tony. A gorgeous picture from the heyday of Hollywood that i remember watching on a wet Sunday age 10 with my Dad. Never forgot it and even made me a Robin Hood nerd having all the films and TV shows. Keep them coming mate or have a break.....who cares.....you do......so do we........lol
Thank you, paulcowboy1967. Appreciate your kind comment. T.
Bloody lovely. What a delightful treat. I feel spoiled. Thank you for this review along with today's birthday bounty. Cheers Tony. Many Happy Returns.
Great film. I also loved Robin Of Sherwood off the telly in the 80s.
I may be showing my age a bit here but I grew up with the Disney animated Robin Hood from 1973
Your not the only one Abras that's a nostalgic one for me to and i still love it today. as a matter of fact i honestly believe that was not only the first disney movie i saw but the first movie i saw in my life period and not only that but whenever i've seen a live action adaptation of the Robin Hood tale i always find it odd when i see the iconic names "Maid Marian", Friar Tuck", "Little John", "Prince John" put to Human faces.
@@leeman8846 me too! I still remember watching the film at 6 a.m. at the peak of dawn, the world was silent and the film was almost over, good times☺💕
Still probably the greatest robin hood movie, robin and Marion 2nd, time bandits 3rd.
Tis genuinely an astounding movie of every department been on top form and Flynn before before the booze caught up. Ms de Havilland always a gorgeous screen presence and a great supporting cast.
Curtis a excellent director who understood what his audience wanted to see...truly brilliant.
Then we have it's modern iteration with taron Egerton a film so piss poor it's an insult to the legends of robin hood , with maid Marion straight off craggy island truly amazingly bad
Another great review
I watched that Egerton film one evening when I was bored. I should have stuck with being bored. Sometimes, bored is better.
Hi Tony, I love this film. I feel like it was usually shown weekend afternoons and I always had a great time watching it. Amazing cast and the joy on screen is infectious. Classic cinema at it's finest. Regards.
Always scoured the Radio Times during holiday periods for showings of this, The Sea Hawk, Captain Blood and action/adventure fare generally. Unbeatable. T.
Happy birthday Tony this channel rocks 🎉👍
Ps Basil Rathbone was a world class fencer,on guard .
Thanks for that, Brendan. Glad you think so. T.
I'm opting to watch this instead of going on the pish in Beirut tonight - no pressure...
Here's hoping you enjoy it, mate. T.
I hate to admit this but... Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves was my first and fave Robin Hood movie.
My parents are now rolling over in their graves after hearing that.
Ahhhh, that f***ing Bryan Adams song!!! Sorry, but the memory of that alone and Costner's mullet is enough. But in fairness, Rickman was a blast.
It's usually the first version of a story, or character that we see that remains our favorite. So, while I understand why the Costner film is your favorite, I'm going to include instructions to have a roasting spit built into my coffin with a motor to keep it turning.....once I'm skewered on it.
Great review. Errol was one hell of a unit. I wonder whether Basil was the inspiration for Dick Dastardly?
Keep it up lad!
Errol was the one with the dastardly dick. Allegedly.
@tonybush555 Well played Sir! I believe he was an impressive swordsman. I wonder whether there is a bit of Terry-Thomas in Dick Dastardly.
Now Tony, behave yourself.
The beauty of Olivia de Havilland during this period is breathtaking. In color or B&W, she’s a radiant screen presence. She and Flynn made the perfect romantic couple in action films of the period. It is a shame balancing those two elements in a film has gone the way of the Dodo Bird.
You speak the absolute truth, Chance Otter. T.
I watched my first Errol Flynn film this year actually, it was Edge of Darkness (1943) and I can say with full certainty that it's one of the greatest war films I've ever seen
Now Robin And Marian appeals more now I'm an old git with everyone struggling with their aches and pains but still trying to be those heroes and villains of old now where's my Deep Heat?
Another great review I never saw this movie I only heard of it many times and the movie is in the top 100 AFI of the decade review that I know there are many remakes of this film too but I saw the one with 1991 with Kevin Costner and Morgan Freeman.. didn't see remake version.
Thanks Ronald. Costner? He was more Robin Wood.
Oh, I agree sir. But you mentioned Flynn's costume without mentioning the sequins... (No, really, check it out...) -YP-
Who the hell is Kevin Costner?
A bankable Hollywood face once upon a time, who got shoehorned into roles for which he was often ill-suited. Although, Open Range is a terrific western with a manageable runtime. Way better than Dances With Dogs and Quiet Twerp.
--- THE WEAKEST ACTOR . . . to not be the character.
