Olivia de Havilland and Errol Flynn made eight films together. Everybody knows “The Adventures of Robin Hood,” but here’s a great scene from “They Died with Their Boots On” (1941), something of a whitewashed portrait of George Armstrong Custer.

De Havilland was about to leave behind these types of roles, where she was relegated to “the girl” in boy’s adventure movies, and move on to meatier portrayals. But she never comes across as less than committed. Here she does an amazing job. She really does look as if she is about to lose it after Flynn delivers his big line.

The film is given the grand Warner Brothers treatment, with plenty of gloss and a moving score by Max Steiner. This was the last time de Havilland and Flynn would ever work together. She may have had a premonition that this would be the case.

De Havilland died yesterday at 104. This scene gets me every time.

“Walking through life with you, ma’am, has been a very gracious thing.”
