Double Feature: The Adventures of Robin Hood & The Court Jester

We invite you to spend a swashbuckling Sunday with us as we feature two films from the Golden Age of Hollywood, spotlighting Basil Rathbone as the villain.

Robin Hood (1938)
Michael Curtiz. US. 1938. 1 hr 42 min. DCP. Approved.
When King Richard the Lionheart is captured, his scheming brother Prince John (Claude Rains) plots to reach the throne, to the outrage of Sir Robin of Locksley (Errol Flynn), the bandit king of Sherwood Forest. Rounding up his band of men and eventually winning the support of the lovely Maid Marian (Olivia de Havilland), Robin accuses Prince John of treachery and, when the escaped Richard returns covertly to England, joins forces with the king to prevent Prince John from taking the crown.

The Court Jester (1955)
Norman Panama & Melvin Frank. US. 1955. 1 hr 41 min. DCP. Approved.
Former carnival performer Hubert Hawkins (Danny Kaye) and maid Jean (Glynis Johns) are assigned to protect the infant royal heir from tyrannical King Roderick I (Cecil Parker). While Jean takes the baby to an abbey, Hawkins gains access to the court by impersonating the king’s jester, unaware that the jester is really an assassin hired by scheming Sir Ravenhurst (Basil Rathbone). When Princess Gwendolyn (Angela Lansbury), falls for Hawkins, a witch secretly aids him in becoming a knight.
