The Other Robin Hood
In the cinema, as in most areas of life, one occasionally comes across some strange coincidences. In 1960, for example, there were two filmed biographies of Oscar Wilde and two of Coco Chanel in 2009. Two films about Wyatt Earp appeared in 1993/4, although that was due less to coincidence than to creative differences among the team working on “Wyatt Earp”, differences which led to the creation of the rival film “Tombstone” on the same subject. In the early seventies two studios were working on disaster movies about skyscrapers on fire, but in this case the coincidence was detected early on and the studios joined forces to produce the film now known as “The Towering Inferno”.

1991 was the year which saw two films on the legend of Robin Hood. “Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves”, a big-budget Hollywood blockbuster starring Kevin Costner, is by far the better-known of the two. This lower-budget version, simply entitled “Robin Hood”, was only shown on television in the USA, although it was released in cinemas in other parts of the world. It did not feature any big Hollywood names; Uma Thurman may be a big name today, but in 1991 she was still more of an up- and-coming starlet.

As in “Prince of Thieves” and several other films on this subject, Robin is portrayed as a Saxon earl, here named Robert Hode. (The idea that Robin was an aristocrat was a later addition to the legend; the recent 2010 “Robin Hood” with Russell Crowe reverts to the original story by making him a Saxon of more humble origins). He falls foul of the authorities, and is declared an outlaw, when he intervenes to prevent a miller, who has been caught poaching the King’s deer, from being blinded. He flees into Sherwood Forest, gathers together the “Merry Men”, and fights for justice and the rights of the Saxon peasantry against the corrupt Norman nobility.

The film includes all the usual cast of Merry Men, including Little John, Will Scarlett, Friar Tuck and Much the Miller, as well as Maid Marian, but, oddly, not the normal villains. There is no Sheriff of Nottingham and no Sir Guy of Gisborne, and Prince John only puts in a brief appearance. (King Richard does not appear at all, although he is referred to). Instead, Robin’s main antagonists are the Norman aristocrats Baron Roger Daguerre and Sir Miles Folcanet. (That is how it is spelt in the cast-list, although “Falconet” might be a more plausible French spelling). Sir Miles is a straightforward villain; it is he who wanted to have the unfortunate miller’s eyes put out and he who is Robin’s rival for Marian’s hand. (She, of course, will have nothing to do with him). Daguerre, however, is a more ambiguous figure. He is Marian’s uncle and originally Robin’s friend; the two later fall out but are eventually reconciled, and Daguerre is converted to Robin’s vision of an England where Saxon and Norman can live together in peace.

One similarity which links this film with the Russell Crowe version is that both aim at a more “naturalistic” view of the Middle Ages to the romanticised “Merrie England” view presented in the Errol Flynn classic “The Adventures of Robin Hood” from 1938 and, to some extent, in “Prince of Thieves”. Some might think this sort of naturalism misplaced in a film which is based on legend rather than historical fact, but both directors (John Irvin here and Ridley Scott in 2010) clearly felt that a film dealing with a peasant revolt against oppression should show us something of the conditions against which the peasants are revolting. Mediaeval life is therefore portrayed as drab, dirty and dangerous, not as something colourful and exciting. The look of the film is dark with muted colours; the leafless trees in Sherwood Forest suggest that the story takes place in winter and early spring.

Patrick Bergin makes a charismatic hero, but few of the other characters, Thurman included, make the same impression. There is nothing particularly wrong with the performances of Jeroen Krabbé as Daguerre or Jürgen Prochnow as Folcanet, but neither of them makes as memorable a villain as Basil Rathbone’s Gisborne in “The Adventures of Robin Hood” or Alan Rickman’s Sheriff of Nottingham in “Prince of Thieves”. Another weakness is it that lacks any real exciting or swashbuckling action sequences; not even the final attack on Nottingham Castle really counts as such. The climactic duel between Robin and Folcanet is in nothing like the same class as that between Flynn and Rathbone.

This “Robin Hood” is certainly better than “Robin and Marian” from the seventies, which manages to be both dull and unrealistic, but I would not rate it as highly as either the 2010 version or “Prince of Thieves”, both of which could generate greater excitement. As for “The Adventures of Robin Hood”, that set a very high standard, and in my view none of the versions since 1938 have really lived up to it. 6/10

Review By: JamesHitchcock
One of the best Robin Hood movies
There are some legendary heroes, whose stories you can tell a hundred of times and every time it is different. There are the three Musketeers, King Arthur, Sherlock Holmes and of course Robin Hood.

In the history of movies are so many adaptions of this legend and each is different in what style and atmosphere they set the piece.

There f.e. is the flamboyant, tight wearing Robin of Errol Flynn (and Cary Elwes), who takes his life as an outlaw with jest and humour.

There is the avenging Robin, out for revenge to some slights done to him and/or family and friends like the Costner Robin Hood.

There are some, really trying to help the poor while having some fun and laugh at the cost of the ruling government as in the Disney cartoon version.

There are many differences in the opponents who are battled by Robin, though the Sheriff of Nottingham is the constant one. There are sometimes John Lackland (King John), Guy of Gisbourne (in the legend he is only a mercenary quickly disposed and then impersonated by Robin) and others.

This version looks at it a new way. They show a country divided into an anglo-saxon populace and norman ruling class. Only a few saxon nobles exist. One of this noble families are the Hodes. Though Robert Hode is normally a friend of his norman Baron, Daguerre, a visiting norman nobleman insists on Hode being punished for some slight offense. Pride Hode does not comply and flees. Thus he is being outlawed and his family stripped of title, claims and life. This way his fight begins….

The look of this movie is the darkest and bleakest Robin Hood there ever was. The forest looks not friendly, many scenes play at night, and the merry men get real dirty (unlike the Flynn Hood). The story behind the whole movie may be the most “political” ever, because of that division of being saxon or norman.

The acting is very good, in my opinion it even supersedes the Costner Robin Hood from the same year. Especially the three leads (Bergin, Krabbé and Prochnow) are great. But down to the smallest role you get fine acting.

The swordfights (as another commentator mentioned, real swords not rapiers) are really nice to watch and the finale…well, you better see it for yourself.

All in all, if this movie runs on TV or is available on DVD, get it.
