Robin and Marian

Movie Review: Robin and Marian (** out of 4 stars)

Year of Release: 1976
Country of Origin: USA
Director: Richard Lester
Cast: Sean Connery, Audrey Hepburn, Robert Shaw, Richard Harris

Plot outline: An aging Robin Hood comes home to resume his relationship with Maid Marian and his battles against the Sheriff of Nottingham (IMDb).

The story (** some ideas should be left alone; Shakespeare knew that Romeo and Juliet couldn't be allowed to grow up; the story of Robin Hood is one of arrogance, and long-shot dice throwing, and the romance of victory; making Robin Hood grow up, maybe it's a good idea, but only he could pull it off)
