Customer Reviews

Meet the elderly Miss Robin Hood
The inimitable Margart Rutherford here fits perfectly into the role of an elderly female "Robin Hood" aiding and abetting in a plan to steal from the rich in order to restore what they stole to the poor. Expect plenty of wild chases, flocks of pigeons, scatterings of currency notes, and cameo roles from many of your favourite players of the 1950s. You get plenty of Margaret Rutherford for your money, and a top quality DVD restoration.

Hilarious!
Wow! I had no idea how good this was going to be. I laughed out loud all the way through. A cast of excellent British comedy talent and a story that is both for children and adults (a little postcard saucy in places!)
Rutherford is a unique talent and matched against James Robertson Justice she's always at her best! Just a great film that deserves to be seen by a wider audience but probably won't be as it is in black and white!

A bit of Southall Film Studios history
Yes, I did buy this because it was made at Southall Film studios and it comes from a period of time when a company called Group 3, headed by John Grierson, were making these light hearted satirical features. Commentators at the time apparently said it was "too silly for words" but I suspect that was exactly how it should have seemed. Margaret Rutherford is on top form as is Richard Hearne. I laughed a lot and thought the whole film a tonic away from today's fayre. The picture and sound quality is excellent. Other films from the same studio and also on Slam Dunk DVD are "Time Gentlemen Please"; "You're Only Young Twice" and "Brandy for the Parson".
