The Adventures of Robin Hood

by Rudy Behlmer (Editor)

For sheer screen entertainment, few motion pictures have ever matched the 1938 Warner Brothers production of The Adventures of Robin Hood . Even today, after more than four decades. Errol Flynn's dashing performance places this picture high in any list of all-time favorites.
    It is one of the most studied of motion pictures, not only because of its popularity but also because of the extremely high level of talent brought to bear in its creation and the sharply honed production and editing techniques that allow an incredible amount of action and movement in the 102 minutes of the film. Includes the complete screenplay.

240 pages, Paperback

[R. G. Nairam · Rating 3 out of 5]

Kind of nerdy read, but I really enjoyed it. Interesting introduction about the evolution of the film and its script. The included "final" screenplay is especially interesting as someone who knows the film well, to see what was changed in the filming. Also includes the nixed jousting scene that I'd heard about.

a picture or two not in the movie, some dialogue not in the movie, background, script; got in 1980, not sure when finished so picked 1989 as I read so few books that year & could not pick 1980 as I didn't finish it until I saw it on video & didn't have a video player that year
