Robin Hood Rides Again
This used to be a staple of the Afternoon Movie, after school. Sadly, it seems to have vanished off the face of the earth! Hammer made a trio of Robin Hood films, and this was their best. Anchor Bay, who have rescued many a Hammer title from oblivion, released A CHALLENGE FOR ROBIN HOOD to VHS a few years back. While that was a fun little film (with a rather fetching Maid Marian, if I do say so myself), it seems incredible that SWORD OF SHERWOOD FOREST has been so neglected. After all, how can any movie that gives us Peter Cushing as the Sheriff of Nottingham not attract an audience?!!!
