"The Adventures of Robin Hood" (1938) Sir Robin of Locksley

"The Adventures of Robin Hood" is my personal favorite incarnation of the somewhat mythical figure of Robin Hood. Played by the terrific Errol Flynn this version in color is a sight to behold. It is a true gem of early Cinema. Here Robin enters upon a dinner hosted by John, the brother of King Richard. John is a vile man who is robbing England blind in the absence of King Richard, and has seated himself in power against the wishes of King Richard. Robin will not take it, and enters upon the dinner with a large deer on his shoulders to present to the faux King. Sir Guy of Gisbourne seethes at the sight and voice of Robin who is not afraid of anyone in the room and commences insulting anyone and everyone to get his point across, even Maid Marian. Flynn is a cool character and every fabric of his coolness is in his Robin Hood. He is unforgiving and witty. This scene stops short of the amazing fight scene, so I suggest you look that up too, but the whole exchange between Robin and John is amazing and well done. Enjoy!
