In Michael Curtiz's swashbuckling spectacle about the infamous outlaw and his band of merry men who "robbed from the rich and gave to the poor" Robin Hood Errol Flynn fights nobly for justice against the evil Sir Guy of Gisbourne Basil Rathbone while striving to win the hand of the beautiful Maid Marian Olivia de Havilland. Flynn joyously embraces the role widely considered the best of his bountiful array of swashbuckling legends. Delivering his lines and performing dashing acrobatics he did most of his own stunts with breezy lan he darts across the intricate sets of THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD as if there are rocket boosters secreted in his tights. It was one of the earliest films to use three-color Technicolor and at the time the most expensive film Warner Bros. had produced. Erich Wolfgang Korngold's outstanding score won an Oscar as did the art direction and the editing.

This romantic epic takes a bittersweet look at Robin Hood and Maid Marian in their later years. After King Richard's death in the Holy Land Robin Hood Sean Connery and his trusty companion Little John finally return home to England. Despite his two-decade absence Robin immediately determines to find his long-lost love Maid Marian Audrey Hepburn. He discovers her in a convent where she retired after waiting fruitlessly for him to return from the Crusades. Now she is comfortably settled there as the Mother Superior and does not fully welcome Robin's return. But she has not quite forgotten her feelings for him either...Unfortunately past rivalries die hard too and the middle-aged swashbuckler also finds himself drawn into a war against his old nemesis the Sheriff of Nottingham.
