1 hr., 42 mins, Errol Flynn, Basil Rathbone, Calude Rains, Olivia de Havilland
One of the most successful and entertaining adventure films of all-time, this movie has a vibrancy as fresh and stirring today as it had years ago. Errol Flynn as Robin Hood is a force to be reckoned with, whether it's foiling evil Prince John (Claude Rains), dueling wicked Sir Guy Gisbourne (Basil Rathbone), or winning the hand of Maid Marian (Olivia de Havilland). Robin Hood is presented as more than just the legendary figure who robs from the rich and gives to the poor; he is an activist-hero who fights injustice and cruelty.
105 mins. Humphrey Bogart, Katherine Hepburn, Robert Morley
In Africa during WW1, a gin-swilling riverboat owner/captain is persuaded by a strait-laced missionary to use his boat to attack an enemy warship.
