In the 20th century, the legend of Robin Hood became a popular topic for films. These were
based on traditional stories of the legendary English folk hero. One of the earliest films was
Robin Hood (1922), which starred Douglas Fairbanks. And one of the most famous was The
Adventures of Robin Hood (1938 - starring Errol Flynn). Robin is a Saxon lord in this film,
and the baddies are Normans. Robin enters an archery competition. He wins but is then
arrested. However, his Merry Men (with Marian’s help) rescue Robin from execution at the
gallows. Meanwhile, King Richard has returned to England in disguise but is recognized by
one of Prince John’s followers. Prince John plans to murder his brother and have himself
crowned king. However, Marian alerts the bandits, and the murder plot is thwarted, but the
Sheriff captures Marian. Robin, who in the meantime has met the king, disrupts Prince John’s
coronation, kills the Sheriffs henchman, Sir Guy of Gisbourne, and rescues Marian. Richard is
restored to the throne, Robin marries Marian, and they all live happily ever after.
