"Where this falls, John, put us close, and leave us there."
The film picks up the Robin Hood legend some twenty years after with Robin and his sidekick Little John return to their old Sherwood Forest embittered by King Richard, by the Crusades and their sickening brutality...

They're informed by former friends Friar Tuck and Will that the lovely Maid Marian now lives nearby, where she has become the abbess... And the sheriff is as powerful as ever and rules the country...

Marian greets Robin's return with mixed feelings, and tells him that, in the passed two decades, she worked hard studying herbs and medicines, and she loves her life and she won't give it up...

Of course, after the return of Robin, Marian could not imagine herself living in the world again, or even wanting to... But after he rescues her from his long time enemy, the Sheriff of Nottingham, who tries to arrest her on religious grounds, the two become lovers once again...

As Robin, Connery is a little bit in love with death... He flirts, he teases, he challenges his strong enemy to a single combat to the death...

As Marian, Hepburn felt so little for so long...

love it
loved this movie years ago and was thrilled to be able to own it. great story, robin hood back from the crusades. drama, laughs, armor and fights. what more could you want? and the times are portrayed realistically, (for Hollywood), people get dirty, the kings court is shown as much as it would have been.
hope you enjoy it as much as i

Robin & Marian
This is an interesting interpretation of the old fable. It starts slow but picks up after Robin and Little John return to England. Sean Connery gives a fine performance as would be expected. Robert Shaw's interpretation as the Sheriff is wonderful. Not your ordinary Robin Hood story, but well worth the time to watch.

Robin and Marian-Classic story, so-so disc
I was thrilled to receive in perfect condition, the great classic with Sean Connery and Audrey Hepburn. The packaging indicates it was digitally remastered. I'm sure it was, but toward the last ten minutes there appears to be some defective footage that pulsates visually during the night scenes between Robin and Marian and Marian and Little John, the night before the dual scene between Robin and Sherrif of Nottingham (Robert Shaw). I think they made some technical errors in decreasing the black level contrast ratio during pre-mastering and replication.

Nevertheless, both my wife and I enjoyed watching the classic drama and I recalled reading my copy of Robin Hood as a seven year-old child, given to me by my Dad, who never lived to see this awesome film. He would have loved it.

An ending worth sticking around for
This movie was a bit slow and tedious at times. How ever I am such a huge fan of Sean Connery and Audry Hepburn, that I could not turn it off. I kept wondering what would happen next. I was waiting for something worthy of these two actors to happen.

Then It happened. (A sort of spoiler alert.) The final scene was the best love scene that I had ever saw in my whole life. It was highly emotional, as was I. I felt their pain, as I understood what the whole point of the movie was, love and sacrifice. It was a memorable ending to a movie that I will have to watch several times to be able to fully understand the depth of it.

I highly recommend this movie to all adults, because we have all suffered love, loss, and aging therefore we can relate to these characters.
