Reviews

Raymond Russell In 1957 a film director called Chris (Peter) Noble who knew my mother, asked if I wanted to be in the BBC Television series Robin Hood. The first day I arrived on the set in a kind of sack dress, that the under-financed prop department thought would make me look like a 14th Century village boy, I was a little scared. Richard Greene as Robin and Archie Duncan as Friar Tuck were really nice to all of the kids and I loved the adventure, until the director pointed to an enormous horse. Evidently the casting director had asked my mother if I could ride, obviously she said I was born in the saddle, even though I had never seen a horse except in cowboy movies. To make it worst there wasn't a proper saddle as we were meant to be village children in the Middle Ages."OK!" the second director shouted as I clung to the temperamental stallion. "All you horsemenÂ…" OMG I thought, this monster is going to throw me in the first ditch."Gallop across that field as fast as you can, try to look scared as if you're running for your lives!" In my case that was absolutely true, I'll never know how I stayed on the beast, but at the end of the afternoon the director came over to me and said, "Well done son you acted truly terrified." I've never forgotten how to ride. I don't know if my childhood acting help me to be the author I am today, but I had a wonderful time.
oscar-35 *Spoiler/plot- The Adventures of Robin Hood, 1955. During the English Middle ages, a tyrant king and his Norman barons abuse their serfs. A knight, freshly back from the Holy Crusades, the knight fights the abuse only to become an outlaw to the crown. He hides among his friends in the local forest to correct the abuse of the common man.*Special Stars- Richard Greene, Archie Duncan, Alexander Gauge, Alan Wheatley, Paul Eddington.*Theme- Honor and what's right wins in the end.*Trivia/location/goofs- British, TV show, B & W.*Emotion- An enjoyable and memorable TV series to many people that grew up during the 50's. Televised in the USA by a popular hair oil treatment. With it catchy theme song and heroic characters in episodes that have a story moral, this show was fun and enforced good citizenship of the younger generation. Good 50's TV to be seen and enjoyed.*Based On- English Robin Hood legends.
disdressed12 i really liked this TV show of Robin Hood.the acting is quite good,the stories are good,and the episodes are very well paced,not too fast,and not too slow.plus,as far as i can tell,this is a show the whole family can enjoy.it's not really violent.the fight scenes are more hokey than anything.but i mean that in a good way.it works in this case.plus i think it has a good moral,although it doesn't hit you over the head with it.each episode is a fun 25 minutes or so.apart from this,the only other Robin Hood i have seen is the 1938 film with Errol Flynn,which i also liked.Richard Greene plays the title character,and seems pretty natural in the role,in my opinion.the supporting players are also very good.all in all, a well done series.
rpurdy along with "Long John Silver". This was one my sisters and I never missed when I was a kid. Robin was brave and dashing and Maid Marion was beautiful. The evil Sheriff of Nottingham was a real meany and was well played. I also have a good memory of Friar Tuck and Little John. Kevin Costner's portrayal of Robin in "Robin Hood Prince of Thieves" pales in comparison to Richard Greene's. The theme song is still firmly fixed in my memory, complete with those French horns. Lots of sword fights and daring escapes from the Sheriff's clutches made this a family favourite. I haven't seen any of the episodes since the early 60's but would dearly love to see them again.
