Sorry, this movie sucks

Some things I liked some I did not.

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

We LOVE this TV series! We have the whole DVD set and we watch it over and over! We will watch several episodes in a row and we watch, what adds up to, the complete series 5-6 times over in a year. NOT exaggerating! We have had it for for 5 years and we are not yet tired of watching Robin Hood! The only thing that we did not like is that it did not go on longer!

After Errol Flynn, Richard Greene was the actor I mostly associated with the legend of Robin Hood. I was born and bought up very close to Sherwood Forest and when I was a lad we visited the forest on numerous occasions, I still live close by and I travel by the Major Oak at least once a every month to visit my children. I was bought up in the late 50s/60s when TV was in it infancy and the Adventures of Robin Hood was a must see every week (We only had 2 TV channels in the UK) LOL My only complaint is in the Richard Greene series (WHY)did they use the same actors to play multiple parts "Sometimes in the same episode" (WHY) Wasn't there enough good British actors in the UK.I still watch and enjoy the repeats on the FILMON TV internet site

For thomas-467the film you are looking for is Fellow Traveller starring Ron Silver. As the blacklisted writer remembers his betrayal to HUAC, he rewrites the series and turns one of the Merrie Men into a traitor (though I won't reveal which one!). It's excellent though not, I think available on DVD.One of the most entertaining things about the Adventures of Robin Hood is seeing Paul Eddington in, seemingly, dozens of episodes (he seems to be in the whole of one season) as different characters though I'm not sure if anyone would have spotted it at the time since he seems to alternate from Saxon to Norman each week. It must have been like appearing in weekly rep for him!

Yes, this was, indeed, a fine production. Richard Green certainly brought the character of Robin Hood to sparkling life with a dashing personality and great conviction. Australia's own Errol Flynn did a pretty good job as well. These shows were fun. They made history entertaining.It's a shame that kids don't have this sort of educational fare to fire their imagination these days.Period films and television series have frequently come in for a great deal of criticism over the years and much of the flack has been entirely justified. However, some of the better productions which have graced both the big and small screens have presented tales of earlier times in a way that the printed word has often been unable to.
