This underrated Richard Lester film is really a classic--and one of the most romantic movies ever made. Working from James Goldman's script, Lester casts Sean Connery as an aged Robin Hood, returned after years away at the Crusades with an increasingly mad King Richard (Richard Harris). Robin and Little John (a very funny Nicol Williamson) return to find that the sheriff of Nottingham (Robert Shaw) is up to his old nasty tricks--and that Maid Marian (Audrey Hepburn) is now a nun. Lester brings the same touch to this period film that he did to The Three Musketeers and The Four Musketeers, blending authenticity with a knowing wink at the conventions of period films. But the heart of this film is the very palpable emotion between Hepburn and Connery (and between Connery and Williamson). The ending is guaranteed three hankies, minimum. --Marshall Fine

4.0 out of 5 stars Great unpretencious film - Deserves a wider audience, 30 Dec 2005
By A Customer
Offers a very believable but alternative view of how Robin ends his days with Marian at Kirklee Abbey.

The scenes are some of the most realistically portrayed I've ever seen: Robin and Little John get puffed out on scaling Nottingham castle's walls, waking up in a cold forest first thing in the morning is a shock to the system for all and the final battle is a one-on-one struggle to make you flinch. I for one have never seen such easy-to-identify-with real life touchs in a film, before or since. They made me smile.The extras dot the entrance and exits of scenes with clever touchs of Pythonesque humour too.

Add to this the underlying love story with the action and you have a highly enjoyable film, sometimes profound, mostly light-hearted but always gripping for the both the men and the ladies.

Connery, Hepburn, Shaw and Harris interpret their characters with great skill and perform superbly.

Highly entertaining, highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better with age, 29 May 2008
By D. Herbert (Meriden, West Mids United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I remember seeing this in a cinema during a wet holiday in Wales when it was on general release. My mother cried her eyes out at the end and my brother and I weren't far behind. Words like beautiful, poignant and sensitive get used a lot in movie reviews but they all apply to this, by far the best treatment of the Robin Hood legend ever on film. Because Lester shows us a plausible Robin, as he might actually have been, but allows for some decent, if arthritic, heroics too - it's not a 'debunking' sort of movie. Someone else here has described the story as 'silly', which is banal and misses the point that whilst there's plenty of action this is not an action movie requiring a complex plot and a villain who dies three times. It's a character study about ageing, change and the ways in which the protagonists choose to deal with it. Suffice to say that an ageing Robin returns to England a lordless man and attempts to make the world the way it was when he was younger and happier, a bit like an old rock band doing a revival tour. The Sheriff, sadly for both of them, is still around and the relationship between the two is one of the best adversary-dynamics I've ever seen on film.
Hard to say more specifically without spoiling it too much. But I think the movie is really about what Dylan Thomas meant when he wrote 'rage, rage against the dying of the light'. Only someone very young and lacking in empathy would not 'get' this film, - so get this film.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Little Film, 6 Nov 2007
By D Skilton (east sussex uk) - See all my reviews
This is really a great little film. It offers a totally different take on the Robin Hood story. Robin and Little John return to England older and wiser after 20 years with the Crusades. They find Nottingham still in the grip of the Sheriff. So they team up with their old comrades and do battle. Robin also rekindles his relationship with Marian who is now a Nun. This film has an inspired cast and a wonderful script. Also a good music score by the always reliable John Barry. Sean Connery has never been better as Robin and Audrey Hepburn is her usual lovely self as Marian. Also special mention to Robert Shaw as the Sheriff, Nicol Williamson as Little John and Richard Harris in a cameo as a mad Richard The Lionheart.

Great cast and wonderful performances considering the script. However, the story is silly. There are great themes presented, but the director does nothing with them. Read more
