The Adventures of Robin Hood


Michael Curtiz & William Keighley: The Adventures of Robin Hood (US 1938) with Errol Flynn (Robin Hood aka Sir Robin of Locksley) and Olivia de Havilland (Maid Marian). There has never been a greater celebration of the fighting spirit.

Robin Hoodin seikkailut. US 1938. Viewed at Tampere, 1 March 1964. I had read John Finnemore's Robin Hood ja hänen iloiset toverinsa / The Story of Robin Hood and His Merry Men (1909). It was translated into Finnish in 1926; I read the edition of Nuorten toivekirjasto, WSOY 1954. I was also a reader of the Finnish language edition of Robin Hood comic books, 165 issues of which were published in 1957-1971. They were translated from the British originals of the Thriller Picture Library.
