🎬 The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938)

Swinging onto the screen on a vine in bright-green tights and a jaunty cap, Robin Hood (Errol Flynn) has simple goals of robbing the rich to pay the poor and win the hand of his Maid Marian (Olivia de Havilland). The blockbuster saturates the screen with opulent castle interiors and lush forest scenes made with the early colour film process, Technicolor, which was ground-breaking for the time.

‘Hood's "rob-the-rich-to-feed-the-poor" ethic [struck] a particularly popular-frontish chord in the late stages of the Great Depression, from which this movie was surely a delightful and transporting 102 minutes of relief and escapism – and all that in sparkling Technicolor!’ – The Guardian
