Pros: Top notch acting by all concerned Cons: None
Errol Flynn IS Robin Hood, as Johnny Weissmueller IS Tarzan, as Sean Connery IS Bond, James Bond. Once these people played the roles, they were theirs forever. As long as there is celluloid, VHS, DVD, or other media, there will be a Robin Hood, and it ...
