  | M Robert | | Disney's live action version of the Robin Hood legend isn't in the same league as the definitive 1938 Errol Flynn film, but it's still entertaining and enjoyable, and sticks to the classic mythology. If you're a baby boomer, you probably saw it as a two-part series on Disney's Wonderful World of Color. Richard Todd is a serviceable Robin Hood, and the supporting actors are solid. A nice historical addition to the story is the presence of the Queen Mother, Eleanor of Aquitane (most memorably portrayed by Katherine Hepburn in "The Lion in Winter"). The production values vary...some of the matte paintings are pretty obvious, and the studio sets are a bit limited. Some of the exterior work is quite good. Unfortunately, there was no attempt to restore or remaster the film for DVD. Given that it was photographed by Geoffery Unsworth, it should look a lot better than it does here. Contrast is inconsistent, and too often the color looks washed out. The movie gets a 3, while the DVD quality only warrants a 2-1/2. |
