Movie #156 - The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938)

****
 
When I think of THE WIZARD OF OZ, I remember how incredibly YELLOW the Yellow Brick Road was.  Now, when I think of THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD, I will think of how GREEN his tights were.  This film is just fantastic, full of ridiculous swashbuckling and with a saturated technicolor palette that just exudes fantasy and fun.  Now I know where MEN IN TIGHTS gets its inspiration...it is from Errol Flynn's performance as Robin Hood.  I just ate this movie up, with some great stunt work, production design that looks like a very ornate Rennaissance festival, and some well placed humor throughout.  I mentioned THE WIZARD OF OZ before, well I believe this film is in the same league.  Great Fun!!!
