Watching Robin Hood with your grandson

What great fun when a seven-year-old boy is willing to sit and watch this classic old movie with you. The old one. The one with Errol Flynn and Basil Rathbone. The one with the great sword fight between those two at the end. The one with Robin climbing up the ivy to the castle window to see Maid Marian. The one with the fight with staves on the log between Flynn and Alan Hale. The one with the Oscar-winning musical score by Eric Wolfgang Korngold. Hollywood has made only a few like this one, and it is great to share with a grandson. Robin Hood is his current hero, replacing Roy Rogers, who in turn had replaced Zorro.

Try this some time with your little buddy. I recommend it highly.

Here is a LINK to the final sword fight. The quality of this clip is not great, but you will get the idea.
