Animal cruelty shown by Michael Curtiz shades him, fresh from "directing" killing/injuring horses in Charge of the light brigade (36)
18 November 2020
I just in the few days learn in that movie Curtiz did a stunt with horses where they got injured and ~20 or so had to be killed, this is inexcusable and exempts that movie, I learn a week or 2 ago about this but do not know what Flynn movie it is and only few days learn it is that movie by the director who did numerous movies with Flynn (and Bogart.) This also severely shades his filmography including movies like this or his westerns,Casablanca. Curtiz was "indiffirent" to his maniacal direction while Flynn complained about this matter, despite doing like 4 more movies with him, oh well. Doing this for entertainment is inexcusable. Poor creatures. Respect the animal kingdom. This is my initial review before learning of this:

[Title:What else to add to this juggernaut

This has it all, except maybe the sets of the silent R.H. movie (that has world record of biggest movie set built with a multi-story castle) have anything to compare, otherwise this movie has it all, and the next two decades R.H. movies had to deal with the juggernaut this movie is.

That has not been already over checked. One thing the silent Robin Hood movie does slightly better is just the sets, the actual life size castle built for the movie retains a world record of biggest single set ever built. Otherwise this movie has everything else on point. The inclusion of Will Scarlet in here should be a mainstay in all the RH movies as like a second-in-command to Robin. Also there is a 'Green Knight' (and rogue like RH except a badguy) in the mythos who is sort of infused into Guy of Gisbourne who wears green colors occasionally.] Oh well. My advice is stick to other RH movies made in the wake of this such as Bandit of Sherwood (46) Prince of Thieves (48) Rogues of Sherwood (50) Men of Sherwood (52) Story of Robin Hood and his Merrie Men (55)
