The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938)
Olivia de Havilland and Errol Flynn in The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938)
Winner of 3 Academy Awards, The Adventures of Robin Hood is the story of Prince John and the Norman Lords who begin oppressing the Saxon masses in King Richard's absence in 1190s England, a Saxon lord fights back as the outlaw leader of a resistance movement.
During one fight sequence, Errol Flynn was jabbed by an actor who was using an unprotected sword--he asked him why he didn't have a guard on the point. The other player apologized and explained that director Michael Curtiz had instructed him to remove the safety feature in order to make the action "more exciting". Flynn reportedly climbed up a gantry where Curtiz was standing next to the camera, took him by the throat and asked him if he found that "exciting enough".
