Warner Bros designed a beautiful, special logo for both ”THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD”(1938) and ”THE PRIVATE LIVES OF ELIZABETH AND ESSEX”(1939) The logo was never used for any other film again. One design for both films. It sets these two highly ambitious Technicolor films a part from the rest.

Have at it. The immortal Walt Disney must have spun in his grave (or cryogenic freezer) when he learned about his beloved studio’s viciously fictional attack on his friend Errol. Miscreant Chuckie Pigham spawned this despicably malicious misdepiction of Flynn. I hope the sick, jealous bastard is burning in hell.
What a shame. If they had made Errol the hero, it could have been an historically great film.

Awarded Oscar for Best Costume Design, Color to Leah Rhodes, Travilla, and Marjorie Best. The costumes are especially beautiful in Technicolor. – Celebrating the Academy Awards. This film was made due to the popularity of Flynn’s recent reissues of ”CAPTAIN BLOOD” (1935) ”THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD” (1938) and ”THE SEA HAWK” (1940) in 1947.

Highlighted by an outstanding portrayal of a late-1950s Flynn by Kevin Kline, who, many believe, should have played Flynn in a major biopic way back when he could have portrayed Errol at his physical and cinematic swashbuckling peak. Unfortunately, apparently due to screenplay and budget problems, the film itself is not nearly on par with Kline’s superlative performance. Susan Sarandon does an excellent job, as well.
