this be undoubtedly the best filmed version of the robin hood legend ever make . errol flynn lead a remarkable cast that seem to jump off the screen in their technicolor brilliance . flynn seem bear to play this role ( or any swashbuckling role for that matter ) . i urge all fan to read his highly entertaining autobiography my wicked and wicked way . after read it you see that if he wasn not bear to play these type of role then he certainly spend his life practice for them . the co director michael curtiz be responsible for so many of the film one think about when the golden age of the studio be mention the list be amaze with casablanca and yankee doodle dandy among them . and just listen to the music . erich wolfgang korngold musical score be without a doubt one of the fine piece ever write for the silver screen . if you be a listener of classical music on the radio you be bind to hear the score to this film at least a few time a year . one can not blame hollywood for not match this level of perfection in other robin hood version . do light ever strike in the same place twice .
