It is twenty years after Robin Hood's heroics against Prince John and the Sheriff of Nottingham. Since then, Robin (Sir Sean Connery) has spent all his time outside of England, fighting as Richard the Lionheart's right-hand man in the Crusades and in France. His only connection to his past life in Sherwood Forest is his faithful companion, Little John (Nicol Williamson). However, Richard the Lionheart is now dead and a war-weary, middle-aged Robin decides to return to England. His first priority: rekindle his relationship with Maid Marian (Audrey Hepburn). However, if he figured on a peaceful life, he didn't bargain on the machinations of the Sheriff of Nottingham (Robert Shaw) and King John (Sir Ian Holm).
Leave your thoughts about Robin and Marian.
| Los Angeles TimesRobert MarshThe social satire gets precious at times, but Connery (sans hairpiece!) and Hepburn (swathed for the first hour in a nun’s wimple) bring a fervid depth of feeling to their characters’ rekindled courtship. |
| Austin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenIf nothing else, the performances of Connery and Hepburn are welcome delights. |
| The A.V. ClubKeith PhippsRobin And Marian would merely be an exercise in theory if the actors didn't make it breathe. Their scenes together a combination of easy humor and wistful grace notes, Connery and Hepburn find an easy rapport, playing something between legendary lovers and an old married couple. |
| The Seattle TimesJohn HartlRobin and Marian is a hybrid movie, one that seems embarrassed by feelings; yet it works best when it admits those feelings, when it plays them straight. |
| The GuardianPaul HowlettIf nothing else, the performances of Connery and Hepburn are welcome delights. |
| Kansas City KansanSteve CrumHepburn + Connery as Marian + Robin = memoraable love story |
| Radio TimesAdrian Turner[A] gorgeous, masterly elegy for a vanished age. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThis is a movie about the end of youth and high romance, about death and the possibility of simple human compassion. |
| EmpireIan NathanSedate and contemplative character piece but low on thrills. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzOvercomes its mediocre script by Lester's excellent visualizations, the pleasing performances from Connery and Hepburn, and the broad comedy that underscores this tragic story. |
