I need comfort viewing after today's treatment. Indulged myself at Fopp on the way home, bought some BluRays, including 1938's classic, The Adventures of Robin Hood. Impossibly handsome Errol Flynn, Olivia Dehavilland in screen goddess mode, Basil Rathbone.

One of the all-time best swashbucklers. Watching Errol Flynn movies as a kid was one of the reasons I took up sword fencing; I didn't want to pose, I wanted to train to swashbuckle for real.

Through my childhood, the only part of #TheAdventuresOfRobinHood I ever saw were the little clips in the Bugs Bunny cartoons. That’s what it was like to grow up outside of NY/LA in the era before @tcm. #TCMParty

Just the greatest sword fight in film history, folks. #TheAdventuresOfRobinHood #TCMParty

The Bishop of the Black Cannons’ purple ankle boots. That’s it. That’s the tweet. #TheAdventuresOfRobinHood #TCMParty

It’s Maid Marian who devises the plan to rescue Robin Hood from the gallows. Lovely, brave, caring, cunning, and smart. #TheAdventuresOfRobinHood #TCMParty

An arrow so fast and so powerful that it’s slipstream extinguishes the flame on a candle! Such a delightfully indulgent shot. I love it. #TheAdventuresOfRobinHood #TCMParty
