The Court Jester

Three Stars: ˜˜˜

This little gem from 1956 isn’t just another musical comedy—it is in fact a brilliant satire on the melodramatic films of the time. Medieval romances were particularly popular and producers took every opportunity to hyperbolize that pageantry, ceremony, and amour. They even got one of the top villainous actors to play the bad guy. Add in a few songs and lots of plot twists and you’re all set for a ridiculously good laugh.

“We did research, Authenticity was a must! Did we search, and what did we find? A lot of dust!”

“Get it?” – “Got it.” – “Good.”

“A jester unemployed is nobody’s fool.”

The Adventures of Robin Hood

Five Stars: ˜˜˜˜˜

In 1938, one of the first great action/adventure films was released and has been an industry standard ever since. Few have been able to capture the elusive combination of wit, charm, chivalry, and good old-fashioned swashbuckling embodied by Errol Flynn. Bursting with pageantry and larger than life characters, the essence of the Robin Hood legend is fully realized in every brash insult and daring escapade.
