     Robin and Marian
1976  PG  DRAMA  1h 46min
CAST— Sean Connery, Audrey Hepburn, Robert Shaw, Richard Harris, Nicol Williamson, Denholm Elliot, Kenneth Haigh, Ian Holm, Ronnie Barker, Victoria Abril
MUSIC— John Barry  DIRECTOR— Richard Lester

     How the mighty have fallen. This dreary and depressing film chronicling the middle-age reunion of Robin Hood and Maid Marian should have been planned better. After returning home from the Crusades Robin discovers that Nottingham is still under oppression by the nasty Sheriff. What’s more, England is now permanently ruled by King John. Perhaps the most shocking of all is the fact that Robin’s lady love is now a nun, tending to the sick and poor. When they reunite dull sparks fly yet again between them, but it all seems artificial. The idea of seeing an over-the-hill Robin Hood may pique your curiosity but you’re better off not knowing.
OUR RATING— * ½
