The week on Film Score Friday, we listen to the score from The Adventures of Robin Hood. This is a 1938 classic that in many ways paved the way for what film scores could add to the drama of a film. Erich Korngold set a great standard here.
There are parts of the score that unmistakably from the 1930s, but there's others that have held up well and could easily be at home in a modern film. Here's some detailed notes on the score we enjoyed reading. This is an unfamiliar film to modern audiences, but worth your time.
