The Adventures of Robin Hood went through a director-swapping production yet is still the only Robin Hood movie that matters.
In retrospect, it’s easy to see the formula that Warner Bros. pursued to make The Adventures of Robin Hood, the 1938 sweeping Technicolor classic. Conceived as a star vehicle for one of their biggest icons, as well as a picture that would be the chance for a reliable contract director to become a preeminent name in Hollywood, it should’ve been impossible for the project to run into any trouble. Yet it did since the movie was originally pitched as a Jimmy Cagney movie and was later assigned to director William Keighley, a terrific studio man from the golden age… but one who is no more Michael Curtiz than Cagney is Errol Flynn.

So horrible! A mother allegedly slashed her little baby girl's throat months after claiming she was 'possessed!' Bradie Simpson of Camdenton, Mo., was found in woods near her home covered in her daughter's blood. She's been charged with first-degree assault and armed criminal action, according to The Daily Mail. Miraculously, the baby survived the attack! "If you remember in the movie Carrie, the blood that was over the baby — it was scary," says Dwight Franklin, Camden County Sheriff. "They initially thought the baby was dead." Fortunately, police were able to rescue the baby in time. "A deputy immediately snatched it up, applied pressure to it, covered it up and ran back to the ambulance with it," he says. Bradie's 19-year-old son had called the police to report her and his sister missing, and officers soon found a bloody knife in the bedroom before discovering the horrific scene in the woods.
