Desperately seeking a copy !!!


I found this to be one of the best versions of Robin Hood I've ever seen.
However,
I can't find a copy for purchase anywhere.

Anyone have any leads on where I can get my hands on a legal copy?

if so, please reply to me, and let me know.
Thanks !!!

Here's to a strong draw and a fair aim. If the version you all have is the one that's 103 minutes, then you'll want to get your hands on the 116 minute version that was originally broadcast on FairandBalancedFox TV, in '91 (or was it '92?). I have a genuinely sad copy that I taped off the plain ether; also, I recently bought the shorter, two-sided version. The longer version has some merry scenes that will leave you wondering why they cut them out. I wish there was some way to share even my crummy copy, legally--after all, who wants to be an outlaw? I doubt that I will be successful, but I'll try to contact 20th Century Fox to see if they sell it; however, their website's search link doesn't call anything up for "Robin Hood." Good luck; and, if good luck won't do, good skill to you. J.-J.

My husband and I got our copy from the Wal-Mart $5.50 bin. :)

We just watched it. He had seen it when it originally aired and loved it, so when he saw it in the bin he had to have it. It was really very good. I've never seen the Costner version as Costner usually bores me anyway, so can't offer a comparison but my husband feels this is the better version and should have been the theatre release.

It was played on one of the Sky Movies channels in the UK last week.

I recorded it on the Sky+ thinking it was the other 1991 Robin Hood film; I was kinda disappointed at first as I've never seen the Kevin Costner one and wanted to, but apparently this one is better so it's a happy mistake in the end.

It has also been playing a lot on the American cable and satellite channel Ovation.
