Film poster: Douglas
Fairbanks in Robin Hood Print by Frans Bosen, 1925. EYE Film Institute Netherlands |
||||||||||
| Bold in both design and ambition, the 1922 film Douglas Fairbanks in Robin Hood and its promotional poster reflect a shared emphasis on spectacle and star power. The poster’s, with Robin in a defiant, exaggerated pose, vivid colours, and stylised backdrop align closely with the film’s large-scale sets, elaborate costumes, and Fairbanks’ characteristically athletic performance. As one of the first major Hollywood productions to adapt the Robin Hood legend with such scope, the film signalled a shift towards more expansive, visually driven storytelling. The artwork channels that intent, presenting Fairbanks as a larger-than-life figure in both narrative and marketing. |
