Review of The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) by Jason D — 17 Mar 2010
Camp as christmas, with some of the least convincing laughter committed to celluloid. The second half seems to be a "wear an unattractive curtain" competition. Any attempts (by Olivia De Haviland especially) to do any naturalistic acting are immediately pulled down by a ludicrous line or an over the top gesture. Friar Tuck appears to come from the American Mid-West, Prince John could do with a box to stand on, and the silver arrow disguises have to be seen to be believed.
It is, in short, a total joy from start to finish.
