What happens
Men of Sherwood Forest is a 1954 British historical adventure film directed by Val Guest and starring Don Taylor, Reginald Beckwith, Eileen Moore, Douglas Wilmer, John Van Eyssen and David King-Wood. The film follows the exploits of Robin Hood and his Merry Men. It was written by Allan MacKinnon and the score was by Doreen Carwithen. This was Hammer's first colour feature, and Michael Carreras was so pleased with it, he filmed Break in the Circle in colour as his next project. Filming began in May 1954, the film was trade shown on 27 October and went on UK general release on 6 December 1954. Hammer followed it up with three other Robin Hood films: Sword of Sherwood Forest (1960), A Challenge for Robin Hood (1967) and Wolfshead: The Legend of Robin Hood (1973). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
