Errol Flynn was the best swashbuckler Hollywood ever had. None before or since has had such a blend of charisma, looks, or screen presence as Flynn did.
Yep, another good movie. I don't think there's a Flynn movie I've missed. Both grandmas, my mom& my aunts were "in love" with him, even dad used to watch them. I'm in my 60's now&grew up watching the oldies. I could name most (if not every) movie he was in.
Flynn's ultimate portrayal! He was never as commanding & endearing as he was in this role. There will NEVER be another Robin Hood as wonderful as Errol Flynn. NAILED IT!
@@LBF522 as a kid but probably still, i always though of errol flynn as being like the later harrison ford indiana jone s and han solo. in a strange way. i know they are alot different and the characters and movies were alot different , but alot of the iconic line and scnees of errol flynn especially as robin hood swinging onto rock making greetings to sherwood, seem to be as iconic as han and greddo(preferably before lucas ruined it) or other han solo and indiana snce and quotes.
Agree. Here he is at barely 30 years old-- full of life with a gleam in his eye. A man in his prime. 20 years later he would be dead of a heart attack...a wreck of a man, only 50 years old. The Hollywood life of booze and drugs got him.
I have a belt worn in this scene. It was worn by one of the musicians playing during the feast at Nottingham castle, as the scene opens, with the camera panning past the musician. The belt is clearly visible. Light blue, with gold braid. Very rare...
An elegant and masterful scene. Dramatically and skillfully staged and maybe even well written. Directed beautifully and brilliantly acted: Claude Raines, Basil Rathbone, others and of course; the incomparable Errol Flynn. Hollywood at it's former glory best. Lol! Terrifying torture for anyone with that much courage: The rack, drawing & quartering, disemboweling to putting somebody in a tight black hole in the bottom of a castle and forgetting about him . . Awww, screw it. What the Hell.
I love this scene. This scene reminds me of the Bible where Elijah confronts King Ahab and warns him what is going to happen if he continues his wicked ways. In Robin Hood's case, he is simply warning Prince John if he continue his wicked ways, then Robin Hood warns him he will retaliate in the name the of people. Kinda almost makes Robin Hood a religious figure in a way.
Current politics aside. It's a powerful scene. Love the closing camera on Flynn as he announces his "all means in his power to fight". True evil in the form of fascism had descended across the Atlantic & in the Far East. It's rumblings were becoming more audible.

this movie was the ultimate swashbuckler. I was lucky to see htis on the large screen in college. when marion declares 'you speak treason' and robin responds 'fluently' the crowd cheered. my sympathy is with the bishop, although John's lackey and a knife at his back, when he confronts john there is fire in his voice.

Robin Hood of the Ballads say King was Edward.. a Prioress of Kirkly..here we go.. a Prioress is a woman in charge of nuns.. and Kirkly in 1400s England during reign of King Edward means "Church Fields".. later on, that place Kirkly was renamed the Benefice of Lower Wensleydale.. there are 6 churches there that make a face.. Look at St. Marys Church.. just about 350 yards east is Hornby Castle.. Home of the Conyers at one time.. Sir John Conyers Jr was the Robin Hood of the Ballads aka Robin of Redesdale.. just not the first to use name... he was leader of the York Knights.. Sir Robert Hulderne was Robin of Holderness..he was Captain of the York Rebels.. there is only one record of a man using name Friar Tuck in 1417 and 1429.. Sir John Conyers was in mid 20s age when he met Friar Tuck age mid 50s : ) .......................
The king that Robin Hood spoke was Richard 1 who spent very little time in England, didn't speak English and whose body lies interred in France. Not exactly an inspirational figure for an Englishman to fight and die for.
It's sad that when you mention Robin Hood to young people today, they think Kevin Costner. Errol Flynn is the one and ONLY Robin Hood.
@Benjamin Lumley Men in tights is my favorite version of robin hood
@@benjaminlumley9189 And that is because, unlike some (koff-koff) other Robin Hoods, he (Elwes) can speak with an English accent.
Alan Rickman is desperately close... CHRISTMAS IS CANCELLED
And richard greene as well as russell Crowe and Kevin Costner errole Flynn was the original and best robin hood ever ❤❤❤❤❤
What about Cary Elwes?

But those men left. They may cry allegiance, but are still loyal to Richard.

Check out The Sea Hawk. He was so good in that.

Yes he did a lot of movies in his career but his portrayal as Robin Hood is how he is most remembered.
The only one that's come close is Michael Praed in the 1980's TV version Robin of Sherwood, an all round excellent cast in that show.
Agreed

"You speak treason" "FLUENTLY !!!!"
My absolute FAVORITE movie line!
It blows my mind that "Robin" has been dead for 60 years, and "Marion" is still alive.
Indeed!
Makes me so emtional 😭
Errol Flynn could have lived longer, but he was a hard drinking chainsmoker. Really did a lot of damage to his body.
You can put your mind to rest, Marion is dead. Olivia de Havilland ~ July 1, 1916 - July 25, 2020

Awesome. I am glad there are people who love this movie. They were the glory days of film.
…Errol Flynn. No other actor comes close to playing this type of role.
Brilliant Basil Rathbone fabulous actor

Still m y favorite Robin Hood even after all these decades!!
He speaks treason. Fluently.
I love how Flynn can just barely be bothered to do an English accent over his Australian drawl
I thought it was an American accent, I didn't realize he was Australian. A few minutes into the movie though I really didn't notice.

It should be noted that Hollywood, and this film also, where staunchly isolationist. Robin's converse with Richard incognito was telling.
I agree. Biden is imposing fascist policies in the USA. China is getting worse. New Zealand is losing its liberty...etc.
Roddy McDowell claims that Claude Rains based his performance on Bette Davis.
I Can See That!
LMAO!
Unforgettable Curtiz! Unforgettable Flynn!
