The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) is one of the largest, most colorful costume dramas, swashbucklers, adventure films and romantic tinged film history. After the restrictions placed on the ice film industry following the creation of the Production Code Administration (Breen Office) in the mid-1930s, Warner Bros. Studios has decided to find relief from censorship, leading a renaissance Film history adventure and fantasy, with swords, the sweeping action, and romantic charm.

The film skillfully tells the story of the heroic Robin Sherwood Forest and his followers, who saved England from the treachery of the king by the noble intrigues during the absence of the crusade and captured, ransomed King Richard the Lion Heart. And he tells the tale of chivalry nostalgic novel, the colorful pageantry, triumphant on the strength and simple justice ugly evil, and spectacular action.

There were at least six attempts during the silent era to history. The Reginald De Koven, Harry B. Smith comic opera version of Robin Hood was introduced in 1890. And Douglas Fairbanks starred as the infamous outlaw hero and Wallace Beery as Richard the Lion Heart in a silent version of the film directed by Allan Dwan - Robin Hood (1922), which was the most expensive film made up to that time (at $ 1.6 - 2 million). In addition to his daring stunt work (drag a drapery, engage in archery and fencing, and other tricks), Fairbanks wrote the screenplay (with a pseudonym Elton Thomas) for fast moving epic silence filled pageantry of the Middle Ages.
