Trail of Robin Hood


his is Roy at his heroic and charming best. Add the very versatile Jack Holt in one of his final films, Rocky Lane, Gordon Jones, and some of the great movie cowboy white and black hats of the 30's and 40's, along with Foy Willing and Riders of the Purple Sage for music, and you have plenty of action, comedy and music to go along with an OK plot. Some of the Tru-Color shots of the scenery are spectacular. Rex once told me he flew in from a road-tour and worked on the film for two days and flew back to continue his road show, and enjoyed working with Roy, one of his dearest friends. This is one of the better 'oaters' with plenty of action, music, and 'surprise' guest stars. A 'must' for fans of Roy, Rex, Rocky, Jack, and the genre!
