An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (measures 11" x 14") (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!

Important Added Info: Note that Warner Bros. apparently knew how wonderful this movie was prior to it being released, and so, they not only prepared spectacular posters, but they also had a great lobby card set! The two best scenes from the set are the close up of Errol Flynn and Basil Rathbone as they are dueling, and the close up of Errol Flynn and Olivia De Havilland, and we are selling each of those cards on eBay this week (in two separate auctions)! This auction is for the Flynn & Rathbone "close up dueling" card. Condition: fine. The card is in virtually perfect condition! It was discovered in the famous "Royal Theater Collection", which is known for having Warner Bros. linen lobby cards that were in the finest condition ever seen (apparently because they were stored in perfect climate conditions). This card looks as though it was just created, and the paper is not in the slightest fragile. There is a small smudge mark in the middle of the back of the card, but otherwise, there is not the slightest mark anywhere on the front or back of the card, and it has never had any restoration of any sort, and it has the absolute slightest of wear in the borders (there could be an equal example of this card existing, but I would say there is no chance there is a better example). I do not use the term "mint" to describe lobby cards, but if there were ever a lobby card worthy of that description, this would be the one! Learn More about condition grades
