The movie stars Erool Flynn (The Prince and the Pauper, The Dawn Patrol), Olivia de Haviland (The Swarm, The Snake Pit), Claude Rains (The Lost World, Notorous), Alan Hale (Night and Day, This is the Army), and Una O'Connor (Christmas in Connecticut).
The plot is the Robin Hood legend. While Richard the Lionhart is off at the Crusidas Robin fights the unjust rules of Richards brother John.
The movie went from 0 to 60 right off the start no lead in a very jerky way to start the movie. Not a great way to start the movie. The diaologue seems shallow and skn deep. There is no debth. It seemed more like a first read through rather then a movie. The script was not that bad but the dialogue seemed to be rushed.
There was a fight scene where it seemed no one could hit there marks at the right time. The blue screnes seemed dated. (And they should the movie is 73 years old.) I did not get any passion by Flynn. I have seen pieces of paper that have more depth thenm Flynn character. The fact that he had one emotion was more then a little annoying. He was put in one speed and did nothing at all to change it up at all.
Im rating the move as a D. If you want a good movie go with The Princis Bride "Hello my name is Inego Montoya you killed my father...prepare to die." That one line had more emotion debth than anything Flynn did in this movie.
