Trama e commenti: kataweb.it - mymovies.it - film.spettacolo.virgilio.it - cinematografo.it: «Siamo nell'Inghilterra del 1190. Riccardo Cuor di Leone parte per la terza Crociata e affida il regno a suo fratello Giovanni e alla regina madre che in pochi anni instaura una vera e propria tirannia. Robin Hood, seguace fedele di re Riccardo, prende le difese dei poveri sudditi. Critica: "Una produzione Walt Disney realizzata in Gran Bretagna, mirata a un pubblico di ragazzi. Raccontato con competenza, vispo nel ritmo, arioso nei paesaggi, ma senza personalità come il suo protagonista. Potabile." (Laura e Morando Morandini, "Telesette")».

If a person failed to attend their trial after four successive occasions, they were placed outside the protection of the law. They were ‘outlawed’ and this meant their property was confiscated and they were banished from society. The sheriff and his bailiffs had to track down and arrest suspects once they were appealed or indicted. The arrest process was not always easy because suspects had ample time to escape...».
