An Undated (probably 1950s) Re-release Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked English One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 40 3/4" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Adventures of Robin Hood, the classic 1938 Michael Curtiz & William Keighley England royalty romantic adventure thriller ("Dazzling to the eye... stirring to the heart - a great entertainment from Warner Bros."; "Based "He lives again - the world's most beloved rogue!"; On Ancient Robin Hood Legends"; "Photographed in Technicolor"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Errol Flynn (in the title role as Robin Hood), Olivia De Havilland (as Maid Marian), Basil Rathbone (as Sir Guy of Gisbourne), Claude Rains (as Prince John), Patric Knowles (as Will Scarlett), Eugene Pallette (as Friar Tuck), Alan Hale Sr. (as Little John), Melville Cooper (as the Sheriff of Nottingham), Ian Hunter (as King Richard the Lion Heart), Una O'Connor, and Herbert Mundin. Note that the mount of Maid Marian is played by none other than Trigger the Horse, before he was purchased by Roy Rogers! Finally, note that anyone who saw this movie remembers well the archery contest which comes down to Errol Flynn in disguise and Owain the Welshman, but few people know that Owain was played by the world's greatest archer, Howard Hill, and that he also did Flynn's bow and arrow stunts shown in the movie! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have seen this poster listed as being from 1938, and also as being from the 1950s. We have always seen it identified as being from England, and it is entirely in English, and it seems surely to not be from the U.S., but the artwork looks more like it would be from an Italian poster (although we have never seen this artwork on any poster anywhere else!). We see no identifying information on the poster to lead us to know it is one or the other, but it seems surprising that the image of Flynn does not look tremendously like him, as he was certainly a major star throughout both those periods. What makes us think that it might be from between 1946 and the early 1950s is that it does not look like English one-sheets from the mid to late 1950s that we have seen. If anyone has certain knowledge of when this poster is from, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept the uncertainty as to when it is from.
