Adventures of Robin Hood - Volume 2

Richard Greene played Robin Hood in this British television series (1955-1960), starring as the upbeat and expansive fellow, with a superb small repertory troupe played different supporting roles. The interior backgrounds were mounted on wheels to facilitate fast shooting, and the studio was located near historic Runnymeade Meadow, the ideal locale for the outdoor scenes. Loosely based on the earlier Douglas Fairbanks and Errol Flynn classic films about a forest bandit with a gang that "steals from the rich and gives to the poor" (that were based on poems and stories dating back 600 years), this children's show remains fondly remembered by those lucky enough to grow up with it.
