On Wednesday, July 27, take a tour through time with Norton Simon’s Summer Film and Tour Series.
Begin you tour through time by entering the forest primeval through Roelandt Savery’s magical landscape before turning to St. Michael and the Dragon. Conclude with knights in armor with a Man in Armour Holding a Pike.
Continue your journey with a screening of the 1938 film The Adventures of Robin Hood staring Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland. When King Richard the Lionheart is captured, his scheming brother Prince John (Claude Rains) plots to accede to the throne, to the outrage of Sir Robin of Locksley (Errol Flynn), the bandit king of Sherwood Forest. Rounding up his band of men and eventually winning the support of the lovely Maid Marian (Olivia de Havilland), Robin accuses Prince John of treachery and, when the escaped Richard returns covertly to England, joins forces with the king to prevent Prince John from taking the Crown.
The tour begins at 1:00 p.m. and meets in the Entrance Gallery and is free with admission. Space is limited to 75 participants.
The movie follows at 2:00 p.m. in the Theater.
The Norton Simon Museum is located at 411 West Colorado, Pasadena. For more information call (626) 449-6840 or visit www.nortonsimon.org.
