Robin Hood at Hammer - Two Tales from Sherwood

Double bill of 1960s adventure dramas produced by Hammer Films.

In 'Sword of Sherwood Forest' (1960) Robin Hood (Richard Greene) and his band of merry men encounter a man who has been wounded by the wicked Sheriff of Nottingham (Peter Cushing).

Before he dies, the man warns them of danger at Bawtry.

Riding to Bawtry, Robin and his men discover that the sheriff and the Earl of Newark (Richard Pasco) are attempting to seize the late Lord of Bawtry's castle.

In 'A Challenge for Robin Hood' (1967) Barrie Ingham stars as Robin de Courtenay, a young nobleman who is falsely accused by his cousin Sir Roger (Peter Blythe) of murdering another cousin.

His accuser is in fact a cohort of the corrupt Sheriff of Nottingham (John Arnatt), who plans to seize control of the family lands that Robin stands to inherit.

Forced to become an outlaw and flee into nearby Sherwood Forest, Robin gathers together a band of rebels to fight against his scheming cousin and the evil sheriff.
