The Adventures of Robin Hood

(1938; screens Monday at 9:45 p.m.)

Filmed in shiny, storybook Technicolor, this legendary movie is to swashbucklers what The Wizard of Oz is to musicals. Errol Flynn has his ideal role as Robin Hood; Olivia de Havilland's Maid Marian is a fairy-tale princess; Basil Rathbone is a splendidly wicked Sir Guy of Gisbourne; Melville Cooper is full of double takes as the cowardly Sheriff of Nottingham; and Claude Rains is an appropriately scornful Prince John.
