An Undated (probably 1950s) Re-release Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked English One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (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 this English one-sheet measures approximately 27" x 40" and is folded. Condition: good to very good. Prior to linenbacking, the poster was in good to very good condition. The poster had no blank borders (given that it is an English poster, it is difficult to know if it was trimmed or if it was printed this way). The edges of the image were tattered all around. There were extra horizontal foldlines 1" above the regular top and bottom folds. There was also a fold 4" from the bottom of the poster. There were extra creases to the left and right of the vertical foldline. Even though the poster had a lot of creases along the folds and was tattered around the edges, there was very little actual paper loss in the image area. The masters at Studio C (the premier restoration studio) put new borders on the poster and repaired the tattered edges of the image and touched up all the foldlines. But they did not put a lot of paint of the poster, so you can still see the restoration from inches away, but from any distance away, the flaws are not very noticeable. One could hope to find a better condition example of this poster, but one might wait the rest of their life for that better condition poster to come along! Learn More about condition grades
