Hammer Studios and actor Richard Greene produced this stand alone Robin Hood story in color and shot on location in Ireland. Hammer's top director Terence Fisher kept the story moving along with lots of guys getting shot with arrows and stabbed with broad swords. Since this was a Hammer production there was the expected touches of sadism and violence.
Richard Greene had started in a television version of the Robin Hood story called The Adventures of Robin Hood. Greene cranked out 143 of these TV shows (which I can remember seeing in reruns) so he had a ready made audience for this film.
This film is nothing special but it is a decent time killer. The film is unpretentious and doesn't pretend to be anything more than it is an entertaining Hammer film.
80 minutes, written by Alan Hackney.
