terrific entertainment
For adults and children both, this series has plenty to offer. There's the charming and hunky Richard Greene, doing a fine job of acting, the wonderful supporting portrayals, a good deal of wit in the scripts (often written by blacklisted writers), and several good laughs.The most surprising thing, to me, was that women characters get better treatment than most 50's entertainments gave us. Marian isn't a damsel in distress. She's a spy, a horsewoman, wields both sword and bow. I wouldn't hesitate to show a daughter of mine this show.
I've never seen a version of this story I like better, and there is no Robin Hood I like better than Greene.
score 9/10
