Logan Center for the Arts Screening Room
The 1938 film, The Adventures of Robin Hood, presented in a rare archival print by the Film Studies Center, provides a remarkable complement for the performances of Erich Wolfgang Korngold’s 1937 opera, Die Kathrin, the American premiere of which is the centerpiece of the Korngold Festival. This film was the first to realize the full dimensions of the epic movie that Hollywood films would in many ways define. The all-star cast — Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland, Basil Rathbone, Claude Rains — appear larger than life in rare technicolor, moving through the sonic landscape of Korngold’s richly orchestrated composition. In fact, he received the 1938 Academy Award for the best dramatic score in a film. For Korngold, The Adventures of Robin Hood and Die Kathrin together symbolized the passage from the impending crisis in Vienna to that of the New World.
