Miss Robin Hood

Whilst not a bad film I wouldn't watch it twice, The comedy seemed direction less, And Margaret Rutherfords character who has preformed well in a lot of films, was just annoying ! There were a lot of great comedy actors in the film, unfoughtunatly due to the script under used! And the business of sid James continually going on about his knitting. ????? I got the impression of a product very rushed out, like I said not a bad film but could should been much better!!

Curiously Richard Hearndall's wife gets no credit, but the lady looks extremely similar to Thora Hird. Most odd...Apparently an actress called Fanny Rowe. Were they related?

Anyone who likes this film needs their bumps felt. The huge cast can't save it. Corny,arch ,incoherent and the cartoon japes unfunny.

The children mug it up and shout out like they have Tourettes Syndrome and we are meant to be amused .Mr Pastry who though hilarious when you are 6, plays it straight and the rest of a large cast fail to bring any spark to the screen. It would have been kinder to let it stay where it belonged as a staple of Saturday morning pictures. As i expect it was along with all the hundreds of Enid Blyton ,Lord Snooty and the gang, comics.

An Ealing reject and it looks it.

It has its moments, but 'Miss Robin Hood' is mostly underwhelming.

Margaret Rutherford (Miss Honey) and Richard Hearne (Henry) are both good, while it's cool to see James Robertson Justice and Reg Varney, pre-'On The Buses' of course, involved in their respective roles; albeit very minorly in Varney's case.

The cinematography is impressive given the year this was released, but I just don't feel like the plot meshes all that well - it feels forcibly thrown together, without much logic. I guess they focused more on the comedy, which I can respect.

Despite the short run time, I was happy to see the film end. Not for me.

A wonderful and truly under rated gem for adults of all ages. The humble writer,Wrigley (Hearne), at a large newspaper creates the adventures of Miss Robin Hood on a weekly basis.It's a comic strip for kids and depicts a modern day young woman as the Hood character who robs from the rich and is always aided by teenage school girls.

When the new owner of the Newspaper decides to drop Miss Robin Hood, the writer storms out of his job.All seems bleak until Miss Honey (Rutherford) appears, an eccentric elderly lady who runs a home for orphaned kids (?) on Hampstead Heath.She insists that only he can help her against the evil Macallister.After reading how Miss Robin Hood can crack open safes,she's convinced that Wrigley can help her retrieve a secret family recipe used in "Honeycup", a scotch based drink with an extra special ingrediant that causes a sensational feeling of wellbeing, from the Macallister (James Robertson Justice).Wrigley unwittingly agrees. The ingrediant is stolen from the Macallister's safe and Wrigley finds himself caught up in an exciting game of cat and mouse with the Macallister, Scotland Yard and the Newspaper Editor.

Great performances from the kids,Hearne, Rutherford, Dora Bryan and an unusually playful Robertson Justice. Sid James also makes an early appearence as Miss Honey's driver. Surely a classic destined for DVD release?
