![The Prince and the Pauper (BD50) [Blu-ray]](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61OSKo6AMKL._AC_UL160_SR160,160_.jpg)
STILL THE MOST ENTERTAINING ROBIN HOOD FILM
After all the other attempts at telling the Robin Hood legend have come and gone, the Warner Bros. Errol Flynn version still entertains better than the rest. Shot on location in northern California for the outdoor sequences and on the Warner Bros. lot for many of the interiors and village scenes, this is a great Blu-ray offering that's loaded with behind-the-scenes features and commentary.
COLOR, DETAIL AND MAGNIFICENT COSTUMES
When upscaled on a 4k-capable Blu-ray player the detail in the colorful costumes looks even more startling and impressive. I grew up, like many, watching and rewatching this movie on black-and-white and then color televisions before the days of flat panel 4k TVs and I hadn't realized how much I was missing. There is another backstory to the restoration of this Technicolor film that the Blu-ray disc doesn't delve into suffice to say that new software was created to properly align the old and often warped strips of Technicolor film negatives and that's when the sumptuous detail of the costumes became evident.
THE CAST AND THE ACTION
Errol Flynn was perhaps one of the more underrated actors of his time. If you watch any of his films, it's clear that he became the characters he portrayed even as grandiose or exaggerated as they were. This is a remarkably entertaining film for its action sequences, humor, and over-the-top romance. One forgives the historical inaccuracies for the sake of going along for the ride. Olivia de Havilland is a delight to look at and delivers another great performance. The Basil Rathbone / Errol Flynn sword fight alone is worth the price of this Blu-ray. Trigger Warning: You can also catch Roy Rogers' horse prominently featured in several scenes.
A MUST-HAVE
For any serious student of film, this is a must-have for your collection because like Casablanca and so many other films made during Hollywood's Golden Age, it's a prime example of how entertaining, well-crafted, and well, just fun, the films were that came out of the studio system. If you have young kids, treat them with this Blu-ray offering.

El Robin Hood de Errol Flynn vale la pena verlo

Y aunque el Robin Hood personificado por Flynn resulta demasiado fanfarrón, su caracterización no resulta molesta, sino al contrario,es todo un deleite verlo en acción, desafiando descaradamente, por ejemplo, al poder político y militar del infame príncipe Juan. La fanfarronería del Robin Hood de Flynn, con frecuencia resulta divertida e hilarante y los chistes moderados, lo cual se complementa con el final heroico, un tanto predecible, de esta versión fílmica de la novela de Walter Scott.
