Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Suman Roberson It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

SanteeFats I love this series!! I have every episode. Yes it is very old school. No sex, just implied teasing. No gore like now days, yes men get killed but there is not the blood and guts that is seen currently, there are no visceral images or scenes. Personally I preferred the first Maid Marion, Bernadette O'Farrell over the second one but that is just because I thought she was very pretty. The plots were not super complex but every episode was entertaining and usually had a lesson in it. The acting was really basic but good, which is to be expected from the time this series was filmed. The actor playing the sheriff, Alan Wheatley, is excellent as the bad guy. He has the demeanor, the facial hair, and the face to play a nasty man. There are some discrepancies with the legends but hey it is a fantasy any way right? I just really enjoy watching this series. 10/1/14- I just finished the entire series and I was very disappointed. King Richard did not return, the outlaws were still outlaws, etc. It seems as if they ended the series before they thought it would end, no closure.

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.

poordogabone-1 Wow! I watched this series as a kid (I'm 55+ now) and had nothing but fond memories, so I jumped at the chance to get the series on DVD. Everything I loved intuitively as a child is there, and there are layers in the stories that I can now appreciate as an adult. The series was an amazingly sophisticated piece of writing, acting, and production. There was wonderful political subtext (after all, the best blacklisted American writers were putting the scripts together) about the McCarthy witch hunts, the dangers of developing super-weapons, tolerance and appreciation of people from other cultures, and amazing feminism (my childhood heroes were Marian and Annie Oakley; couldn't identify with the June Cleavers and Margaret Andersons at all).And as for Richard Greene: He's still my definitive Robin. And I might add, no one before or since could match Alexander Gauge's Tuck.

eddstep Thankyou to the user, Carflo for their comment. It is very true. I remember well, watching Robin Hood as a child and it was so much loved, along with William Tell. It shaped my character for goodness and fair-play. Every episode is full of suspense and there is usually lots of action. There are so many life's lessons to be learned. To treat others as you would want to be treated. To treat all women with respect and the women to look up to good men. The kids today are really missing out and many of the programs on TV these days are only promoting violence and sex. No wonder we have so much crime. Bring back the good old Family values. Enjoy all the series, and show your kids!
