Which actor and movie did you like better and why?

Errol in Robin Hood and They Died With Their Boots on or Tyrone in The Mark Of Zorro and Jesse James.


I can't choose because I like both actors and both their movies.

Wow! That's a hard choice AEC! I guess I'd pick EF over TP-although TP had an inch of better looks over EF! He was dark and handsome!!

Both were dark and handsome, but Errol's wicked ways, for better or for worse, give him that edgy dangerous quality. And what's not to like about Robin Hood?

I think Powers's best pictures were Captain from Castile and Prince of Foxes.

My father ran into Tyrone Power and Raymond Massey around 1950 in Vicksburg Mississippi, he said Power was the handsomest man he ever saw.

I liked them both. However, Errol Flynn would be my choice of the two. Loved that smile and voice.

Since you listed Errol Flynn in Robin Hood I'd have to go with him. That movie still holds up great after 70 years. I'd had the great opportunity to see it on the big screen at a revival movie theater once. If you ever get the chance to see it that way, do NOT pass it up. The color is still beautiful today. Great movie, great performance.

Yeah, I've seen The Adventures of Robin Hood on the big screen several times, gotta love that Glorious 3-strip Technicolor. The last time I saw it was at the Biograph in Chicago, the audience was booing Rathbone, cheering Flynn, quoting lines, great fun.

I think The Adventures of Robin Hood and The Wizard of Oz are perfect pictures----there's not a single thing I'd change about them.

Olivia: Why sir you speak treason! Errol: Fluently

Like Tyrone in Razor's Edge (great supporting cast) and Witness for the Prosecution.

Reviving an ancient thread because of the currently active thread about the talent of Errol Flynn. Some fun video clips above! I've always favored Ty Power over Flynn--I guess I like his (acting!) sincerity over Flynn's rakishness. But of course the best answer is, Why choose? They were both shining stars who eased a weary population through the hard times of the 1930s and 1940s. We're lucky that we can access their movies.
