O Cavaleiro de Sherwood

Of course John Derek is not Errol Flynn and George Macready is not Basil Rathbone, but this Gordon Douglas' directing is more than worth watching. It is fun, fast paced, with a splendid production design, despite the obvious studios lots settings. Columbia pictures was rather good in those cheap medieval tales, not as much as Metro Goldwyn Mayer directed by the likes of Richard Thorpe; I will even prefer Columbia to Universal - BLACKSHIELD OF FALSWORTH was rather lame compared to this one. So, yes, this Gordon Douglas film is an exciting little programmer, perfect for a sunday afternoon time waster. I discovered it in 1975, precisely a sunday afternoon. And don't confound it with another Gordon Douglas' flick of this kind: THE BLACK ARROW.
