Family Theater: Robin Hood

Family Theater presents Edmund O'Brien as Robin Hood. From Hollywood, the mutual network in cooperation with Family Theater Incorporated brings you Edmund O'Brien in an adventure with Robin Hood with William Conrad, Ed Begley, William Byard, Edgar Berrier, Jeff Collay, and Junius Matthews.

This is Edmund O'Brien. Romance and Adventure seem ever to cast their spell about us, and the classics of yesterday, even now retain their vigor as our children first meet their magic spell. The immortality of the true adventure story comes into focus sharply in the legend of Robin of Loxley.

The Robin Hood, who today, as in generations past, captures the fancy and transports the spirit back to the time when the bold, green-clad men of Sherwood Forest lived their carefree lives. But though they were men untroubled by want or restraint, they were all men to whom liberty was a personal thing.

A privilege that was to be abused neither by them or by those whom they met in their adventures. And so to bring back once again to our memories that gallant and high-spirited band in green, we bring you an adventure with Robin Hood.

Locksley, good Robin Hood and his merry band of Sherwood Forest. Picture then, sweet folk, the gatherings under the Greenwood tree as the merry band outlawed but all by the greed or caprice of their stern age, send ringing to the sky tales of their bold adventures.

Look you at Little John, towering above the band, will Scarlet of the flaming garb, and Alan Adale the troubadard of Sherwood. And look you now within the forest glade where Cudgel meets Oak and Cudgel, as green clad robin matches blow for blow the noble efforts of Little John, the merry men of Sherwood with all,
