Robin and Marian – 1974

• 2023/09/14

Does the story of Robin Hood really require a sequel? Not really… But then if you absolutely must, why not get Lion in Winter scribe James Goldman to conjure one up, and cast Sean Connery and Audrey Hepburn as your leads. Throw in Robert Shaw as your sherif of Nottingham, and maybe include the likes of Richard Harris, Ian Holm and Denholm Elliot to see what happens. Before this film existed, there was no need for it to. Now that it does, it ranks among those niche, invaluable treasures of its medium.
