Fellow Traveller

nicky-5

For thomas-467

the film you are looking for is Fellow Traveller starring Ron Silver. As the blacklisted writer remembers his betrayal to HUAC, he rewrites the series and turns one of the Merrie Men into a traitor (though I won't reveal which one!). It's excellent though not, I think available on DVD.

One of the most entertaining things about the Adventures of Robin Hood is seeing Paul Eddington in, seemingly, dozens of episodes (he seems to be in the whole of one season) as different characters though I'm not sure if anyone would have spotted it at the time since he seems to alternate from Saxon to Norman each week. It must have been like appearing in weekly rep for him!
