Can anybody help me remember the name of a movie portraying the writers of the adventures of Robin Hood TV series ? They were blacklisted in the USA for supposed communist ties in the fifties,and made a living under various pen names,being behind some of the classic TV serials of that era.Have seen this movie,but cannot for the life of me remember what it was called,and it's driving me nuts. Have a feeling it may be from sometime in the 1980's, it was in colour but have no recollection of who starred in it or directed it. If I could just remember its title I could check if its available on DVD,as would really like to see it again.

along with "Long John Silver". This was one my sisters and I never missed when I was a kid. Robin was brave and dashing and Maid Marion was beautiful. The evil Sheriff of Nottingham was a real meany and was well played. I also have a good memory of Friar Tuck and Little John. Kevin Costner's portrayal of Robin in "Robin Hood Prince of Thieves" pales in comparison to Richard Greene's. The theme song is still firmly fixed in my memory, complete with those French horns. Lots of sword fights and daring escapes from the Sheriff's clutches made this a family favourite. I haven't seen any of the episodes since the early 60's but would dearly love to see them again.

Time hasn't been overly gentle to this classic TV show from 1955 but it does now boast a high camp value and a sense of ripping Boys' Own adventure.Star Richard Greene's interpretation of Robin Hood as a tubby, twinkling matinée idol – and, for that matter, the rest of the cast too – would look more at home these days in a thigh-slapping panto as he foils dastardly plans by the sheriff, enters archery contests in lamentably unconvincing disguises and generally helps out others when he's not robbing the rich and giving to the poor.And there's also the iconic theme tune, forever rendered chucklesome after Monty Python hijacked it for the Dennis Moore song.
