Robin and Marian (1976)
| Director: | Richard Lester |
| Actors: | Audrey Hepburn, Denholm Elliott, Ian Holm, Kenneth Haigh, Nicol Williamson, Ronnie Barker, Sean Connery |
The legend of Robin Hood continues with Oscar winners Sean Connery and Audrey Hepburn in this high-spirited adventure. Many years have passed since Robin (Connery) led the fight for the poor people of Nottingham. Now, he and Little John return from the crusades under the command of King Richard the Lionheart (Richard Harris). But when Richard is accidentally slain, the mad King John assumes the throne, and Robin regroups the members of his old Sherwood Forest band. When the king orders the Sheriff of Nottingham (Robert Shaw), Robin’s old nemesis, to remove the clergy from the countryside, Robin moves swiftly into action. He rescues Maid Marian (Hepburn), his erstwhile love who has since become a nun, and their old flame is rekindled. But the rivalry between Robin and the Sheriff is also renewed, and now they must prepare for their final confrontation.

This is an old movie and I was interested to see Robin Hood & Marian in there older year. All the Robin Hood & Marian movies I have seen have been young actors. This was a sweet movie.

Strange seeing an aged Robin but still very young Marian and sheriff. Different slant on this old favourite but still very enjoyable.

This was absolute drivel Richard Lester should be hung drawn and quartered for producing something this bad and sullying the great careers of Sean Connery and Audrey Hepburn. I am not sure if it was meant to be a comedy, a satire on past Robin Hoods, a love story or what. It definately wasn't an action movie. Very disappointing considering the stars that were in it, but perhaps it gave Ronnie Barker the inspiration to become the great comedian he became.

Good premise in that we all get older ( but not necessarily wiser). easy to watch, doesn't tax the mind to much. a great follow on from all the robin movies of old.

Entertaining enough, but neither Hepburn nor Connerys best
