Description:
King Richard goes on the Crusades leaving his brother Prince John as regent, who promptly emerges as a cruel, grasping, treacherous tyrant. Apprised of England's peril by message from his lady-love Marian, the dashing Earl of Huntingdon endangers his life and honor by returning to oppose John, but finds himself and his friends outlawed, and Marian apparently dead.

Slow moving though it may be in the first half, Douglas Fairbanks' Robin Hood really picks up in the second, when our hero returns to England and becomes the outlaw hero of song and legend. Once he affects his transformation, Fairbanks goes hopping, skipping and leaping through the rest of the picture - I don't think he ever walks in the usual way - and his Merry Men follow suit! This movie hasn't lost any of its pure fun and excitement in the 85 + years since it premiered in 1922. As with many home video ... Read More
