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!

Important Added Info: Note that this is a set of special educational posters created by the studio to promote this movie. Apparently, this promotion started in 1938, and these sets of posters were sent to libraries by the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America (apparently, the company that either printed these or distributed these). We imagine the idea was for the library to display these posters around their walls, so that visitors to the library would learn about how movies were made (this set has many scenes from the movie, each in a different setting, information that is likely available nowhere else!), and at the same time, it would provide publicity for a current movie! These sets are incredibly rare. In our many years of auctioning, we have only seen a couple of sets offered by anyone. Now, a collection of 17 of these sets that were sent to a Massachusetts library were discovered, and are being offered here, in 17 separate auctions. We doubt we will see even a handful more of these over the next decades, so this is an extremely rare opportunity to purchase these sets. Note that each set comes with the original mailing tube from the company to the library, with either a partial of full mailing label attached to it. We can send that mailing tube to the winner of this auction, if they wish, but that will mean that the set of posters can't be combined with other purchases, so it will be up to the winner of the auction to tell us whether they want us to send the mailing tube with the set.
