Watching the Adventures of Robin Hood...

[valis2]

...with the historian commentary on.

Olivia de Havilland (Maid Marian) is riding Trigger during the movie. *boggles* Apparently this is just before Roy Rogers claimed him.

Really?!
Wow!
I bought that DVD but never watched it with the commentary on. Very Cool!! *movie buff boggly moment!*

The commentary runs nonstop...the historian really explains a lot. The history behind the movie, behind the time period, the actors, everything. It has some interesting moments!

Really? I'll have to watch that movie again because I didn't catch that her horse was Trigger. All I really know about Trigger (besides his spot on the Roy Rogers show) is that he was a Tennessee Walking Horse. Such a beautiful horsie.

That's a bit of trivia I've never heard before. I know who's doing the sword-fighting bits when Errol Flynn isn't.

I was really surprised. I watched for a moment, and, sure enough, it was Trigger! How interesting. I never would have known without the commentary.

He did most of the work, apparently, and he was pretty good at it. The guy who played Friar Tuck also did a lot of his own work too.

There were several stuntmen who did some pretty amazing stunts that I never fully appreciated before...
