Robin Hood, the silent movie version.

Above: Guy of Gisborne (Paul Dickey), the Earl of Huntingdon / Robin Hood (Douglas Fairbanks), and Lady Marian (Enid Bennett).

Above: Prince John, before an impressive film set. In 1922 Hollywood would actually build such sets for real. On the right is Friar Tuck, played by Willard Louis. For a review of Robin Hood 1922 click here.

ABOVE: Robin Hood 2006 gave Marian a secret identity as the Night Watchman, the most revolutionary addition to the legend since Nasir in the 1980s. BELOW: Will Scarlet picture gallery. Top to bottom: Anthony Forwood (Disney version), Paul Eddington (Adventures of Robin Hood), Owen Teale in Robin Hood, 1991. Ray Winstone (Robin of Sherwood), Harry Lloyd (Robin Hood 2006).

ABOVE: Robin of Sherwood remains the definitive version of Robin Hood for many fans.

BELOW Top: Guy of Gisburne (Robert Addie), Centre: Sheriff of Nottingham (Nickolas Grace), Bottom: Abbot Hugo (Philip Jackson), as the villians in Robin of Sherwood.

BELOW: Uma Thurman gave a brilliant interpretation of Maid Marian in "Robin Hood" (1991).

BELOW: King Richard the Lionheart (Ian Hunter) in the Errol Flynn film The Adventures of Robin Hood, and his unpopular brother Prince John (Hubert Gregg) in Walt Disney's Story of Robin Hood. Steven Waddington (bottom) took on the role of King Richard for the BBCs Robin Hood in 2008.

BELOW: Much the Miller's Son, rescued by Robin Hood after being caught poaching the King's deer, then to join Robin's outlaws as a symbol of the oppressed common man whom Robin Hood fights to defend. (Top: Peter Llewellyn Williams, Centre: Danny Webb). In 2006 the BBC made Much the Nobleman Robin's servant with a Friar Tuck style appetite (Sam Troughton).

BELOW: Nasir (Mark Ryan) as a Saracen Muslim outlaw brought an original twist to the legend of Robin Hood's men. So successful was the idea that it continued right through to BBC's Robin Hood 2006 when Anjali Jay played Djaq.

BELOW: An evil Prioress is often cited in tales about the death of Robin Hood. In "Robin and Marian" Audrey Hepburn's Maid Marian gives an interesting twist to this tale.
