History YMMV / TheAdventuresOfRobinHood

!!The TV series

* EarWorm: Even hearing the '''''name''''' "Robin Hood" will make most people start humming this show's theme tune.

* ChaoticGood: Well, since Robin is the page image...

* NeutralGood: Robin Hood qualifies; while openly at war with the Normans, especially Prince John, he will aid Norman and Saxon equally as need be. When Robin gives Marian a tour of a makeshift hospice he had set up for those victimized by Norman soldiers and tax-gatherers, Marian observes that one of the people he has sheltered was a Norman. Robin answers, "Norman or Saxon; what's that matter? It's injustice I hate, not the Normans."

* AwesomeMusic: Doubling as well as [[AwesomeMomentOfCrowning Awesome Music Of Crowning]], the "March of the Merry Men," as it recurs in the coronation scene, is a riot of trumpet [[{{Fanfare}} fanfares]], soaring violins, and glittering harp strings.

-->'''Robin:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Hardly an inspiring sight for such pretty eyes as yours, I'm sure.]]

* CathartisFactor: The scene where the merry men ambush, outwit, and humiliate Sir Guy while robbing the treasure wagon in the forest is very enjoyable to watch.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Creator/OliviaDeHavilland as Maid Marian, Creator/BasilRathbone as Guy of Gisbourne, Ian Hunter as King Richard the Lion-Heart and Robert Warwick as Sir Geoffrey.

* FoYay: Robin's duel with Guy sizzles with homoeroticism, with plenty of thrusting, sweating and panting and moaning in each other's faces.

* SpiritualLicensee: Of the novel "Ivanhoe" but it pales in comparison to actual adaptations of the novel.
* ToughActToFollow: For many this is ''the'' definitive film version of Robin Hood... Unless it is a portrayal in a film adaptation of "Ivanhoe."
* WhatAnIdiot: Marian's attempts to hide the fact that she is trying to warn the King are ... less than convincing. She writes a letter to King Richard, telling him of the assassination plot and then hears a knock on her bedroom door. Despite the fact that there is a) a lady's maid next to her who ''successfully hides'' and b) a fire burning on the hearth ''right behind her'', she neither gives the letter to the maid nor throws it in the fire, nor does she seek a delay with the obvious "I'm getting dressed!" or somesuch. Instead she puts it in a conspicious box on a table that she claps shut and still has her hands on when Sir Guy bursts through the door, and that she ''stares at'' while he toys with it.
