A Look at 25 Paramount’s Timeless Movies

The Adventures of Robin Hood casts Errol Flynn as the outlaw hero of Sherwood Forest, with Olivia de Havilland as Maid Marian and Basil Rathbone as a sly Prince John. Co-directed by Michael Curtiz and William Keighley, the film dazzled audiences with vibrant Technicolor forests, grand castle interiors, and expertly staged sword fights. Archery contests and horseback stunts added momentum to the romance and rebellion at the story’s core. It was nominated for three Academy Awards and was the winner of multiple technical honors.
