 Robin Hood (1973): Gold Classic Collection
Robin Hood is such a cheap, lifeless affair that even the credit sequences appear frightfully generic.

 Robin Hood (1973)
I'm sure most of you are familiar with the story of Robin Hood, especially since Costner made a movie about it several years ago and that's how we all learned about JFK's death and that magic cornfield, so the story the movie endeavors to tell is vaguely familiar.
Perhaps realizing the reekiness of this movie, Disney then wrapped things up really fast and the next thing you know Robin and Marion are married and all the bad guys are breaking rocks in their prison stripes, King Richard having returned to reclaim his throne.
A rotten script that never developed Robin beyond a fox in a green hat and that relegated Marion to about two scenes, while spending entirely too much time with the big lummox Baloo the Bear, I mean Little John, completely scuttled this version of Robin Hood.

Robin Hood, if he existed, would likely have lived during the 14th century, but most of the celluloid versions of the outlaw's adventures are set during the time of King Richard the Lionheart -- late 12th century.
The legendary nature of Robin's adventures have inevitably lent a fantasy element to portrayals, so even when the costuming tends toward historicity, there is always a touch of fun.
Flynn's Robin Hood certainly sets the standard for both adventurous derring-do and costuming, with jaunty feathered caps, forest green tunics, and gracefully draping gowns for the heroine.

During the titles and credits, the viewer is informed that the quasi-historical story of the rogue outlaw is "Based Upon Ancient Robin Hood Legends," although the film also borrowed from old English ballads and Sir Walter Scott's 1819 novel Ivanhoe, with its emphasis on the oppressive treatment of the Saxons by the Norman knights.
