THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD ( Blu-Ray ) <http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0013N3DSE/103-5459828-7685415?ie=UTF8&tag=aintitcooln07-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=1789&creativeASIN=B0013N3DSE>
Along with the original 1933 KING KONG – THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD is my favorite film of all time. Directed (mainly) by Michael Curtiz and starring an incredible cast – headlined by Errol Flynn at his absolute best. And co-starring Olivia De Havilland, Basil Rathbone, Claude Rains, Alan Hale, Patric Knowles, Eugene Pallette, Melville Cooper, Una O'Connor and Herbert Mundin. The film features arguably the best film score of all time – composed by the brilliant Erich Wolfgang Korngold – featuring the most lush and beautiful Technicolor that we'll never see the likes of again. The film isn't about reality or history… It's a storybook film – a painterly vision of a dream of this tale. It's adventure where you smile at death and laugh at certain doom. The dialogue is brilliant. And the swordfights – well, the fight between Basil Rathbone and Errol Flynn is as good as it will ever be done. The most astonishing thing is watching actors getting shot in the chest with real arrows at real speeds. This was accomplished by using the most amazing Howard Hill (he's the guy that Flynn is in the shoot off with in the Archery Tournament). He really did shoot all those men – with a long bow fired arrow. If you notice, and you can with this exquisite 1080p, every time an arrow hits – it will hit in the center of a crest. Behind which was a plank of wood wrapped in leather. He simply never missed, ever. Word has it that Howard hill could hit a flipped silver dollar in mid air with an arrow. He was… that good. If you've never seen this film – all I can say is – get ready for greatness. It was the most expensive film ever made at the time it was made. And it was the most successful of its year. It is… PERFECT! -- spanx' blog: http://spankyenriquez.blogspot.com/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "gimik" group.
