I always seem to manage to come back to this one – a very favourite film of mine for many reasons.

This is a US advertisement for the film

The Story of Robin Hood and His Merrie Men was released in Britain with ‘Hammer the Toff’ as the supporting film – I am told. However, my thoughts are that it would be much more likely to be on an ‘All Disney’ programme as above.

Also the film is titled ‘The Story of Robin Hood’ and not the longer version but I note with great pleasure that Joan Rice is shown in the star billing area – that is not the case sometimes in the later release AND some of the TV listings

That really annoys me – She was orginally Star Billed alongside Richard Tod – where she should be.

An added note here – Peter Lamont the famous James Bond Art Director – was employed on this film as a junior draughtsman – Uncredited.

I spoke to him once of the telephone during the making of ‘Goldeneye’ in 1995 but at that time did not know of his link to this film or I would certainly have asked him about it – and about any recollections of stories
