Format:DVD
The inimitable Margart Rutherford here fits perfectly into the role of an elderly female "Robin Hood" aiding and abetting in a plan to steal from the rich in order to restore what they stole to the poor. Expect plenty of wild chases, flocks of pigeons, scatterings of currency notes, and cameo roles from many of your favourite players of the 1950s. You get plenty of Margaret Rutherford for your money, and a top quality DVD restoration.

Wow! I had no idea how good this was going to be. I laughed out loud all the way through. A cast of excellent British comedy talent and a story that is both for children and adults (a little postcard saucy in places!)
Rutherford is a unique talent and matched against James Robertson Justice she's always at her best! Just a great film that deserves to be seen by a wider audience but probably won't be as it is in black and white!

You have to be a Margaret Rutherford fan to enjoy this - it is lightweight to say the least and dated.
Having said that it is - even if lightweight- a comedy classic and worth watching.
Be warned though if not a fan you will waste your money

Oh dear!
I think I envisaged a dated but jolly romp with Margaret Rutherford being as enjoyable as she was in Blithe Spirit but sadly, no. Read more

Haven't watched the film in full yet but have checked it for quality, visual and audio quality is excellent with a great 50s cast.

Oh Margaret!
Is it possible to cast the late Margaret Rutherford in a film and for her not to totally steal the show?! Read more

Miss Robin Hood
I bought this for my boyfriend for Christmas and we watched it the other night. It's not one of Margaret Rutherford's best flms and we probably won't watch it again but at £3. Read more

Briliant and never to be forgotten.
Actor's like this will never come around again. It's funny, no sex, no violence and real life british humour as it used to be?

Thoroughly Unfunny
One of the stupidest and most unfunny films I have ever had the misfortune to watch. I read the reviews and thought it was going to be a good film. Don't be fooled, it's rubbish.
