«Welcome to Sherwood: The Making of The Adventures of Robin Hood
(2003) takes us behind the scenes during production of the Warner Bros. classic
- from the development of the script to the fight choreography. You'll also
learn more about the history of the Robin Hood legend and what prompted WB to
make
The Adventures of Robin
Hood. In addition, we learn how close James Cagney came to
bouncing around Sherwood Forest in green tights instead of Errol Flynn and what
happened to the horse Olivia de Havilland rode in the film and why two men are
credited with directing the film. The documentary includes color home movie
footage of the cast and crew on location plus interviews with film historians
such as Rudy Behlmer, Bob Thomas, Leonard Maltin and Robert Osborne. One thing
the documentary doesn't go into is the relationship between Errol Flynn and
director Michael Curtiz. In all the two men made 12 films together, including
The Charge of the Light Brigade and Captain Blood, the film that made
Flynn a star. Despite their long history and the string of hits they made, they
hated each other. It just goes to show, you don't have to be friends to do good
work. By the way, if you're a fan of The Adventures of Robin Hood, you'll
be glad to know that the film is being released this month for the first time
ever on DVD. The film has been digitally remastered - so it looks great - and
the DVD has tons of special features including this documentary and the TCM
Original documentary, Glorious Technicolor».
