The Original Robin Hood… silent – 1922

02 Jul

I went to an old movie Palace a few years ago to see the orginal Robin Hood with Doug Fairbanks (silent, 1922) accompanied by pipe organist from a copy of the orginal score that was played during the film. It was an amazing experience!

More at the Douglas Fairbanks ROBIN HOOD Photo Album!


Coming Next… outtakes from Doug Fairbanks Robin Hood and a parody by Will Rogers of Doug playing RH!

Captain Blood's sword

01 Jul

A brief note –

Moments ago on BBC America's “Graham Norton Show” American rock star Alice Cooper claimed to be the owner of the sword Flynn used in Captain Blood. Hmmm…..that's news to me and I'll bet it's not authenticated, but who knows….I do know Cooper's last CD, “Dirty Diamonds” was pretty good. The old boy can still rock with the best of them, and he's an Errol Flynn fan, too!
