Recommended for ages 8+. The first cinematic incarnation of the great prince of thieves! Silent film superstar Douglas Fairbanks swashbuckles his way through Sherwood Forest in this epic adventure which he also wrote and produced. The Earl of Huntingdon transforms into dashing desperado Robin in order to defend King Richard the Lionhearted's throne, overthrow the evil Prince John, and save his beloved Maid Marian. With great humor, amazing acrobatics, and spectacular sets (Prince John's full-size castle was one of the largest sets ever built), this flamboyant film received the Photoplay 1922 Medal of Honor, one of the most prestigious screen awards in the years before Oscar existed.
