Certainly one of the more obscure adaptations, here is a film that may be overlooked by even the most thorough film scholar. It takes place shortly after the Third Crusade. While returning home from the war, King Richard the Lionhearted is captured by the Germans and held for ransom. While he is being imprisoned, his conniving brother, Prince John, takes control of the regency and plans to oust Richard from the throne. Meanwhile, Robin Hood and his men are trying to collect enough money to get their king back from the Germans. However, the evil sheriff of Nottingham, Baron Elwin, attempts to stop them. Various plots and sub-plots abound in this film, which is very good at times. The only drawback I can think of is its annoying slapstick elements, which seem to detract from the overall enjoy-ability of the film; albeit, not too much!

This film is an historical adventure/drama, which takes place in Europe in 1855. It concerns a fugitive (Fernando Lamas) who is on the run after killing someone. While in hiding, he is discovered by a band of outlaws, who force him to become an accomplice to their crimes. After he saves a beautiful young woman from one of their indiscretions, the gang vows revenge against him, and he and the boss of the outlaws duel in an old barn. This is a film that certainly deserves to be seen by serious fans of the genre.

Obscure thriller, concerning a couple who meet in Egypt under strange circumstances, and end up having to hide a dead body. Not only that, but someone is trying to kill them also. As an extra twist, it seems that during an archaeological expedition, some cases of gold were stolen, and now the thief is attempting to cover up his crime.
