The 1938 The Adventures of Robin Hood offers Errol Flynn at the top of his swashbuckling hero game and Basil Rathbone in super-villain mode. With spectacular visuals and dynamic pacing. The definitive Robin Hood movie. Great stuff.

The Woman in Green (1945), the 11th Basil Rathbone-Nigel Bruce Sherlock Holmes movie and a good, rather dark, film. An original story that borrows elements from several Conan Doyle tales. London is terrorised by Jack the Ripper copycat murders.

It is not generally known, but it was Fearless Francis, not Zorro who defeated Captain Pasquale in 'The Mark Of Zorro'. The video at the end proves it.

Admittedly, Fearless Francis looks a bit like Tyrone Power and is unusually tall for a 7-year-old boy. It's amazing what clever editing can do, even in those days. 😉
