An Undated (probably between 1938 and May 1940) Re-Release Theatrical Folded Belgian Movie Poster (measures 11 3/4" x 14" [30 x 36 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 this is a very rare poster. We have never auctioned this poster (from an undated re-release of this movie in Belgium probably between 1938 and May 1940; see below) in all of our years of auctioning! We know that this movie was released in Belgium (and France) in 1938, but posters from that first release are perhaps nonexistent. This poster is almost certainly from between 1938 and May 1940, when France surrendered to Germany. It is possible it is from the first release, but not likely (although the image is extremely similar to some of the U.S. first release posters. Finally note that this poster was printed on the back of a small part of another poster. This occurred in France at this time, because they were having major paper shortages. It is also why this poster is much smaller than earlier Belgian posters (11 3/4" x 14"), because they were saving on paper that way as well! If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: very good. As noted above, the poster was printed on the back of part of another poster, but fortunately it only slightly shows through to the front in the light colored areas. The poster was folded across the middle and has separation at the left end of that fold and a pinhole in each corner and it will display really well on its new owner's wall.
