An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked English Three-Sheet Movie Poster (measures approximately 41" x 85") (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!

Some people believe it was released in England in 1938, and that this poster is from that release, some people think it is from right after World War II, and others think it is from the early 1950s. Personally, I think it is quite likely it is from 1938, or even from during World War II, because the "Warner Bros. First National" area at the bottom right, and the "Based on ancient Robin Hood legends" tagline, and the shield area at the bottom of the poster greatly resemble how the original 1938 U.S. posters are laid out. But there is no definitive answer to this, so please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept the uncertainty as to its year of release! This English three-sheet was printed in 2 sections. Condition: good to very good. The poster had many creases, tears, and small areas of paper loss in the bottom 1/3 of the poster, and a lesser number in the top 2/3 of the poster, and none in Flynn's face. There were many creases, tears, and areas of separation in the vertical foldline in Flynn's shoulder and in the background above that and also in the top center background area. The poster was tattered on all four borders, with much paper loss. The poster was restored by a really top-of-the-line restorer, and the defects in the image area were expertly restored, and the borders were expertly restored (there was much paper loss in the top of the letters of Flynn's name at the top of the poster, and that area was nicely restored as well). Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking, but I think this poster would display great on anyone's wall! Learn More about condition grades
