9. The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938)

In episode 9, join Eric & Sannah as they revisit one of the most entertaining movies ever made: that Technicolor, swashbuckling spectacle starring Errol Flynn, Olivia De Havilland, Basil Rathbone, and Claude Rains. Yes, they’re talking about “The Adventures of Robin Hood,” from 1938.

They talk about Warner Bros.’s decision to reinvent their crime movie image in the 30s and how they led not only to the decision to make this movie, but also to making it in Technicolor. They also go through the perfect cast before eventually describing their favorite scenes, and what makes this movie work so well and age so little, including its enormous influence on later adventure films such as Star Wars.

Thanks as always for listening. You can find Eric on Twitter @ConFilmBuff, and Sannah @SannahMcDonough.
