Episode 24: Splitting Arrows- Wearing Duck Hats with A Challenge for Robin Hood in 1967

Hammer Films is our primary Robin Hood content creator from this period. This British production company, mostly remembered for its horror films, has been a real mixed bag with us here at Into the Greenwood. Men of Sherwood Forest was a surprise hit with us. While The Sword of Sherwood Forest built high expectations with its cast of Richard Greene and Peter Cushing, only to dash them with a convoluted mess of a movie. For their third outing we get a third Robin Hood, and unlike the previous two, an origin story. How does this one fare? With a good deal more absurdity than we had anticipated...During the outro I draw connection to a topic covered in episode 10:https://www.buzzsprout.com/1727735/9254400Into the Greenwood is produced by Thaddeus Papke Theme music is by Plastic3For more from Into the Greenwood:https://www.instagram.com/intogreenwood/https://twitter.com/intogreenwoodhttps://www.facebook.com/intogreenwoodTo support the podcast go to:https://www.patreon.com/IntoGreenwoodorhttps://ko-fi.com/intogreenwoodOur selected charity: Trees, Water & [email protected] the show
