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.

Mr. Flynn, I Mean, Mr. Flint, Saves the World from Global Warming (in “Our Man Flynn”) and Hot Global Feminists (in “In Like Flint”), Romancing with Wild Women and Conversing with Trained Dolphins All Along His Errol-May-Care Way.
Derek Flint tributes Errol, showing The Baron to be even greater than Bond.
See zacal’s superb “Our Man Flynn” post: www.theerrolflynnblog.com…
In addition to a bevy of beauties, there’s even a Basil-like staircase swordfight, ~ 1:32 in “Our Man Flint”.
And Flint is actually called “Mr. Flynn” at one point in the sequel! See ~ 1:16.

A Superb Tribute to The Adventures of Robin Hood: Featuring Errol Flynn and Ralph Dawson.
Was Ralph Dawson the greatest film editor of the 1930s? — Three academy awards in less than four years – Midsummer’s Night Dream, Anthony Adverse & The Adventures of Robin Hood. Mighty impressive.

Due to the lack of a sound stage large enough to accommodate the full scale ships used in the production, the studio built a new sound stage that covered a specially constructed artificial lake-water tank. The ships were 165′ and 135′ and surrounded by water twelve-feet deep. This photo was taken at Warner Bros Studios sound stage in 1943 while filming ”This is the Army’, one can clearly see the set of the military chorus singing. Now, If you to the right side of the photo, you will see the the stern of the Albatross in skeletal form. This photo give you an idea on how large these sound stages are. A terrific behind the scenes photo.
