Into the Greenwood

Episode 16: Splitting Arrows- Gambling with the Men of Sherwood Forest in 1954

This film caught me off guard in a number of ways, and not just because I wasn't expecting a strip poker scene. I wasn't expecting to see a lower-class Robin, nor one who was a full ten years into his career as an outlaw. But mostly I didn't expect the first Robin Hood movie from Hammer Films to be so cleverly written. It's a Robin Hood that feels familiar while also not rehashing most of the same ground as other films. And while yes, there really is a game of strip poker in the movie, it is still a family friendly film.
-with Richard Hopkins-Lutz and Jeff Wilkinson
