About the Movie
The full name of this movie is Douglas Fairbanks in Robin Hood. It was one of the most expensive movies made in the 1920s. It cost about $1,000,000 to create, which was a huge amount of money back then! The movie tells the story of the famous English outlaw named Robin Hood. Most people who saw the movie thought it was very good.
A Big Movie for its Time
Even though the movie was made very carefully, some people did not like it as much. One person, Vachel Lindsay, said the movie was "a heavy exhibit of armor that does not move." He felt the first part of the movie was mostly just fancy scenes, not much action.
However, many people at the time thought Robin Hood was a very important step forward in how movies were made. It showed new ways to tell stories on screen. Later, a very popular movie about Robin Hood starring Errol Flynn in 1938 became even more famous.
