Flynn's best, and in glorious color! There has never been an actress who looks more beautiful than Olivia De Havilland in this film. And Basil Rathbone is the ultimate villain, since he brings almost as much charisma as Flynn to his role--and is a better actor. Worth watching again and again.
A rebel challenges a usurper.
It's corny and dated, but in a way that's fun if you get into the old-timey adventure spirit of it.

Only a spirited and extravagant production could do justice to the Robin Hood legend; this film is more than equal to the task. Korngold's score won a well-deserved Oscar, as did the editing and art direction.
