Since starting this blog, I have been amazed at the amount of images that continue to appear from Walt Disney's Story of Robin Hood and his Merrie Men (1952). I have never seen the still (above) before. It shows Queen Eleanor (Martitia Hunt) kissing the hand of the Archbishop of Canterbury (Antony Eustrel).
As explained in the description below the image, Queen Eleanor and the Archbishop of Canterbury are responsible for the governance of the kingdom while King Richard I is on Crusade. Together they plan to curb the immediate threat of the king's brother Prince John.
My blog has over 800 pages containing hundreds of images from this wonderful movie. Take a look under the label 'Picture Gallery' and Images of a Legend'. If you are aware of any stills that have never been featured, please let me know.
The Queen and Archbishop. Images of a Legend. Film Stills.
ReplyDeleteThis is a film still that I , too have not seen before - they just keep coming up. Not sure if this scene actually took place in the film - I will have to view it again and check. The film hasn't been on Television lately but I do remember that the last time ITV showed it, they must have taken it direct from the 35 mm film print because the quality was superb. Much better than the released DVD.
ReplyDeleteI agree Neil, the film is well over-due to be shown again. The quality of the DVD is very poor and does not do the film justice. Lets hope it can be released again in a better format.
