Hammer Film's early take on a classic Robin Hood adventure... We have lush Technicolor, pretty good performances, unconvincing sword fights, dated humor, political intrigue and horse chases.
Richard Greene as Robin Hood sets the tone for the character. Peter Cushing delivers a memorable performance as the thoroughly despicable Sheriff of Nottingham, a role he reprised in a sequel of sorts in 1964.
The plot is a little thin, but it's an enjoyable afternoon matinee just the same.
