Review of The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) by Chaitali O — 09 Dec 2007
I've read the novel, and while it was much better than the movie in most ways, I would reccomend this if you're interesting in Robin Hood. First of all, the name. Robin is also used as a girl's name and is not one I care for, Hood is fine though.
Olivia de Havilland played her role well, but I would not have chosen Errol Flynn after reading up on his life. I myself, plan to remain cleanshaven all my life, and took a liking to Will Scarlet. He would have made a more kinder Robin Hood in my opinion.
And there should be no killing unless it is to save your life. There are flaws in what Robin did, for you really shouldn't steal, and on that I would change the story. Perhaps have Robin Hood have permission from King Richard, or something of that nature.
