a challenge for robin hood (1967)


aka Robin Hood's Chase. The Legend of Robin Hood.
"One less Saxon thief and trouble us!"
Robin (Barrie Ingham), a young Norman nobleman, ends up on the run after being falsely accused of murder. It's all an attempt to seize control of his lands. Whilst hiding in Sherwood Forest, Robin gathers other rebels to fight against his scheming cousin (Peter Blythe) and the evil sheriff of Nottingham (John Arnatt).
Well made romp through familiar territory, though let down by the casting of Ingham who lacks a certain charisma.
