	New York State Writers Institute - Robin Hood Film Notes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Each production was more gigantic than the last, each what the trade press called "super spectaculars." Inspired by developments in German films he and Mary had seen during their trips abroad, the films became known for their detailed, fantastical sets then and still today among the unquestioned highlights of the art of cinematic scene design.
		ROBIN HOOD’s castle set was, by most accounts, the biggest single structure ever built for a silent film, bigger even than the Walls of Babylon set for D.W. Griffith’s ponderous 1915 epic INTOLERANCE; it covered ten acres and its construction employed most of the casual labor in Los Angeles for months.
		When the film was finally shot, it combined a first half freighted with court spectacle and pageantry with a second half brimming with vintage Doug—mirthful, brave, a little bashful with women, and owning a boy’s spirit of high adventure.

		The operator "renders" a film, if he is a real operator, exactly as does the musician render a piece of music, in that, within limits, the action of the scene being portrayed depends entirely on his judgment....

	GreenCine \| product main - Robin Hood (1922)
		Robin Hood, Douglas Fairbanks' biggest (though not necessarily best) production of the silent era, represents the first time that many familiar of the elements of the Robin Hood legend were presented on screen.
		The film's singular highlight is Fairbanks' slide down a two-story tapestry, a bit of bravado accomplished by hiding a playground slide behind the huge cloth.
		We recommend that you seek out a good-quality, tinted print of Robin Hood, processed at the slightly faster-than-life speed at which it was originally filmed.

		In its entirety, "Robin Hood", though presenting so much hardship and violence, is as smooth and gentle as they come, just like a ferry-tale banned on celluloid.
		Of course, some may say that the original Robin Hood is nobody but b/w star Douglas Fairbanks, and they may be right, but this "Robin Hood" is far from being a mere remake: it is another, even greater original.
		Today, of course, "Robin Hood" may seem simple and outdated but this movie has more atmosphere and character than all but a dozen films I have seen ever since.

		Robin forms an outlaw band in Sherwood Forest, rescues Maid Marian with the help of a mysterious knight who turns out to be King Richard (Wallace Beery).
