Robin Hood - Douglas Fairbanks 1922

ROBIN HOOD

1922

STARRING

DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS

PLOT:
Amid big-budget medieval pageantry, King Richard goes on the Crusades leaving his brother Prince John as regent, who promptly emerges as a cruel, grasping, treacherous tyrant. Apprised of England's peril by message from his lady-love Marian, the dashing Earl of Huntingdon endangers his life and honor by returning to oppose John, but finds himself and his friends outlawed, and Marian apparently dead. Enter Robin Hood, acrobatic champion of the oppressed, laboring to set things right through swash buckling feats and cliffhanging perils!

   CAST:
   Douglas Fairbanks...    Earl of Huntingdon/Robin Hood
   Wallace Beery   ...    King Richard the Lion-Hearted
   Sam De Grasse   ...    Prince John
   Enid Bennett   ...    Lady Marian Fitzwalter
   Paul Dickey   ...    Sir Guy of Gisbourne
   William Lowery   ...    The High Sheriff of Nottingham
   Roy Coulson   ...    The King's Jester
   Billie Bennett   ...    Lady Marian's serving woman
   Merrill McCormick...    Prince John's henchman
   Wilson Benge   ...    Prince John's henchman
   Willard Louis   ...    Friar Tuck
   Alan Hale   ...    The Squire/Little John
   Bud Geary   ...    Will Scarlett (as Maine Geary)
   Lloyd Talman   ...    Allan-a-Dale

The Douglas Fairbanks version of "Robin Hood" still provides excellent entertainment value. The role gives Fairbanks a perfect chance to display his energy and charisma. He is helped by the lavish sets and scenery that recreate the world of medieval England. Wallace Beery as King Richard is also a nice complement to Fairbanks. Later versions, such as the Errol Flynn version had many resources available to them that this one didn't, but this older version is more enjoyable than most of the more recent movies based on the legend.

The film includes some interesting scenes that cover or add to parts of the legend that are not in a lot of other versions. For example, about the first half the film takes place before any of the events the occur in the Errol Flynn version. It makes it interesting to watch even if you've already seen plenty of other "Robin Hoods". It is acted in the somewhat exaggerated style of many of the silent films of the era. The grand sets that were constructed for the film were apparently rather famous at the time, and still do a good job of evoking the right mood. Well worth watching.

Please note:
This is a silent movie.
