Review of The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938)

This adaptation of Robin Hood is an exceptional ride of a motion picture in dazzling Technicolor! Some stunning performances throughout from some performers you may have seen in other classics from the era, such as Claude Rains (Casablanca) and Olivia de Havilland (Gone With the Wind). You may also recognize Alan Hale in his role as Little John, as he bears a resemblance to his son, Alan Hale, Jr., better known as the Skipper from Gilligan's Island. All told, this is an entertaining movie with outstanding set pieces and the swashbuckling action holds up like fine wine.
