This is an estimable version of the famous story ,with interesting variants.Giuliano Gemma is an all-smile Robin and he has plenty of go and dynamism;he has often played in costume adventures ,notably in the famous "Angélique " saga in which he played the heroine's childhood's friend ,Nicolas.
The screenplay is rather well constructed for a "spaghetti " Robin;the hero meets his celebrated mates after half an hour and Marian herself shortly afterward .Marian is not like the other ones,she refuses to be the damsel in distress,she dresses like a man and she takes part in the macho archers competition! Marian and Robin were engaged when they were 8 or 9 ,the hero knows it but she does not recognize him ("he's a yokel,crude and uneducated and I 'm a noble") :it gives some fine lines between them .Tuck,warning in Latin his mates danger is around the corner while pretending he is praying is also a good moment of humor .
