    Every once in a while, a film might have 3 or 4 of the 5 essentials (excellent cast, director, music, script and those needed intangibles) that make it not only enjoyable but some-thing that says, "I want to see that again". To have all 5 of 5 usually means in today's world that the movie is nominated for 8~12 Oscars and wins most. But for older films of 70 or more years ago, it's usually the one that not only do reviewers, critics, hosts of oldie movie channels (i.e. Bob & Ben) wax poetic about but one that viewers say, "Show it again"! And one more time, please. This is one of those movies. It has the rare combination of an absolutely sparkling musical score, significantly great cinematography, a wonderfully tight script that complimented the action and not vice versa, deft direction, the timely luck of being filmed in color and that cast. That cast was magnificent & became an essential in just about any meaningful Warner Bros-Errol Flynn action/adventure. And Errol Flynn is there in his absolute best film role whatsoever. Bar none. It's non-stop entertainment at, for its time, the top of the mountain. One downside. Way back 25-30 years ago, there were still some scenes included from the original film release that were being shown on TV and have bern cut. One such scene was towards the end when Richard and Robin went to the castle of the Church of the Black Whomever (ok, I forget his film title) who was to lead the investiture of Prince John and made him an offer he couldn't refuse. It, along with the others, need to be reinserted as we don't worry about the video needing to fit into a window of a certain number of minutes.

    I have to admit, the Errol Flynn Robin Hood is pure spectacle! Arguably the Most Splendid Robin Hood film in history! Errol Flynn is absolutely awesome as Robin Hood! His charm and wit is marvelous! The sweeping technicolor cinematography, Erich Wolfgang Korngold's outstanding score, the fantastic artwork and the incisive acting by Olivia De Havilland, Claude rains, Basil Rathbone, Alan hale, Eugene paullete and much more are all first rate, and pure spectacle! See it!
