The boots ERROL FLYNN made famous in “THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD” hit the auction block.
Much like Judy Garland’s WIZARD OF OZ ruby red slippers the screen thrills idol’s footwear is expected to reap a bounty of plunder.
The rust-colored suede boots were donned by Errol in the swashbuckler which was the most expensive film made by Warner Brothers at the time.
The then-new three-strip Technicolor wasn’t a cheap process and the Brothers Warner gave it their all surrounding Flynn with a stellar cast, top drawer production and his most luminous leading lady Olivia deHavilland as Maid Marian.
Despite several filmed versions of the Robin Hood saga, Flynn’s version is considered the definitive Hollywood treatment replete with lush scoring by Viennese movie maestro Erich Wolfgang Korngold.
