Movie Title: Robin and Marian Robin and Marian is available for streaming or downloading. |
This film wonderfully directed by Richard Lester offers an entirely different retract on the legendary characters of Robin Hood and Maid Marian. It’s 1199, Robin and Miniature John, return to England, after King Richard the Lionheart’s death during the siege of Chal^us. Marian, now an abbess is taken from Kirklees Abbey. Robin and his followers once more prepare to fight against the Sheriff of Nottingham, their traditional foe. As for the memoir I’ll refrain from saying anything more.
‘Robin and Marian’ is about ageing, accepting life as it is. It’s a far scream from the non-stop swashbuckling of ‘The adventures of Robin Hood’ with Erroll Flynn, this movie presents all of the well-known characters in their frail age. It shows how everyone deals with the progress of time, but offers no judgement.
Sean Connery is gorgeous as the mature Robin. With insight and passion he portrays a man who doesn’t assume well to the passage of time. Which is sometimes painful to glance. Audrey Hepburn shines, in what I deem is certainly one of her most tantalizing performances. Her capable Marian has wisdom, intelligence, spunk and a wistful touch. Her chemistry with Connery’s Robin is shiny. Their rekindled cherish is shown with a bittersweet, poignant tenderness. Which one doesn’t discover often on the veil, and Audrey Hepburn and Sean Connery certainly rise to the challenge. Of the other cast members Robert Shaw and Nicol Williamson stood out for me. Shaw’s Sheriff is cunning but also fatherly (he has moved on but is smooth a match for Robin) . And Williamson’s Small John although staunchly valid to Robin knows very well that things are over.

This film has a gritty, authentic medieval stare. But there are the ravishing locations of the forest to bask in. A substantial soundtrack by John Barry heightens also the wistful mood. But the viewer gets a rather stereotypical portrayal of King John. The usual inappropriate John of the legends. Also exciting is the poignant symbolism of the three apples at the beginning and destroy of this film.
‘Robin and Marian’ doesn’t demolish the fable of Robin Hood and Maid Marian. To me they became very realistic and infinitely more human. Not in the least because of the astonishing performances by Sean Connery and Audrey Hepburn. No matter what, the two lovers will always be together, in the hearts and minds of people. However this film doesn’t compromise, ultimately leading to its downbeat and heartwrenching finale.
Growing up as a young reader in WASP America, it was inevitable that I should be exposed to the Robin Hood record. Indeed, it was that anecdote, along with my young (and unsuitable) knowledge of Becket, Henry VIII and his wives, and King Arthur and the Round Table, which first got me to dreaming about visiting England. After my first shuffle across The Pond in ‘75 to that green and suited land, I was zigzag. Thus, it was with substantial like that I viewed ROBIN AND MARIAN.
How could one possibly bag fault with the casting of this film: Man’s Man Sean Connery as the aging, creaky Robin Hood, and the always fine Audrey Hepburn as the appreciate of his life, Maid Marian. As a bonus for the viewer, Robert Shaw and Nicol Williamson play the Sheriff of Nottingham and Limited John respectively. It doesn’t accept better than this.

As the movie opens, Robin and faithful pal Puny John are off in France attendant to the death of King Richard the Lionhearted (Richard Harris), after having rummaged around with the monarch on the Third Crusade. Richard’s funeral over, our two heroes return to Sherwood Forest. Robin soon learns that the novel sovereign, noxious King John, has ordered the Sheriff of Nottingham to evict a group of nuns from a local abbey. As circumstance would have it, Maid Marian took the hide in Robin’s long absence, and is now the abbey’s prioress. Despite his aching bones and stiff joints, Robin sets off to rescue his damsel-in-distress from his traditional archenemy.
There are so many joys to this movie. One is watching Sean’s Robin deal with advancing age. He’s aloof young at heart, but sleeping in the damp, chilly forest isn’t what it dilapidated to be. Both he and Microscopic John are too mighty “over the hill” for such nonsense, but only the latter, with increasing skepticism, seems to realize it. Then there’s Audrey’s Marian, who isn’t at first distinct that she needs the renewed attentions of her conventional beau. (Audrey is so blooming! They don’t develop actresses like that anymore.) The intervening years have even had an achieve on Shaw’s Sheriff of Nottingham, making him noteworthy wiser in his dealings with his rascally nemesis.
Finally, the scriptwriters give their enjoy interpretation to the archaic ending of the Robin Hood yarn. In their hands, it becomes at least a two-hankie event. Unprejudiced remembering it now, I’m looking for the Kleenex box. Call me a sucker, but I objective ate it up!
