One of the best-loved productions of the Robin Hood legend, this 1975 series tells of the life and adventures of an enduring hero. Famous for his gallantry, his love for Maid Marian (Diane Keen) and his struggles against injustice and tyranny, Robin Hood is one of the legendary characters of English history. This classic BBC production remains one of the most historically accurate versions of the Robin Hood story; a tale which embodies the true romance, excitement and heroism of the outlaw. Robin Hood (Martin Potter) is a young idealist and a reluctant leader of men. Ignorant of his true noble background, incensed by the dispossession of his lands and driven to fight for the people against a corrupt establishment - he is forced to become an outlaw. As his band of merry men - including Little John (Conrad Asquith), Friar Tuck (Tony Caunter) and Will Scarlet (Miles Anderson) - vow to steal from the rich to give the poor they become heroes to the ordinary people, but bitter enemies of the Sheriff of Nottingham (Paul Darrow) and his ally SIr Guy of Gisbourne (William Marlowe).
When Prince John (Claude Rains) and the Norman Lords begin oppressing the Saxon masses in King Richard's absence, a Saxon lord fights back as the outlaw leader of a rebel guerrilla army.
The legend that had it coming, 'Robin Hood: Men in Tights' wipes away the mystery - and the dignity of England's most infamous stocking-filler as Robin of Loxley (Cary Elwes) and his merry men bring a dose of sheer mayhem to Sherwood Forest! Throwing away their titles and their trousers, Robin and his nylon-clad crew battle to bring down evil Prince John (Richard Lewis) and hideous side-kick the Sheriff of Rottingham (Roger Rees) to procure the key to Maid Marian's (Amy Yasbeck) heart...and her chastity belt!
When the Sheriff of Nottingham's soldiers brutally attack his family, a young man named Robin (Paul Allica) vows bloody revenge on the men responsible. He recruits a team of outcasts, mavericks, and fugitive warriors, each has a grudge to settle with the Sheriff (David Macrae) and an extreme fighting skill to match. Together they devise a plan to exact revenge and lay to rest the ghosts of his past.
Young Robin Hood (Richard Todd), in love with Maid Marian (Joan Rice), enters an archery contest with his father at the King's palace. On the way home, his father is murdered by henchmen of Prince John (Hubert Gregg). Robin takes up the life of an outlaw, gathering together his band of merry men with him in Sherwood Forest, to avenge his father's death and to help the people of the land that Prince John are over taxing.
Based on the story by Alexandre Dumas. Set in France during the 1600's. D'Artagnan, a young country nobleman, goes to Paris to join the elite band of the Musketeers. He finds action and adventure but his foolishness lands him in big trouble. Luckily he meets the three Musketeers, Athos, Porthos and Aramis. They form a special friendship and vow 'All For One And One For All'. Follow their exciting adventures as they unite to destroy the wicked people in the King's court.
To the cry of "all for one and one for all" comes a version of the Dumas classic that's fun for all - a rousing, swashbuckling adaptation that was Gene Kelly's favorite among his non-musical movies. Kelly plays country lad D'Artagnan, who comes to Paris with heady ambition and finds his way into the ranks of King Louis XIII's musketeers. He swashes-and-buckles with brio, bringing to action scenes the virile athleticism that set him apart as a dancer in movie musicals. A top cast - Vincent Price as unctuous Cardinal Richlieu, Lana Turner as villainous Lady de Winter, June Allyson as Constance, Van Hefflin as Athos, Robert Coote as Aramis, Gig Young as Porthos and Frank Morgan and Angela Landbury as King Louis and Queen Anne - joins Kelly in this exuberant tale.
Febre (Tim Roth), Cardinal Richelieu's right-hand man seeks to destroy the myth of the Musketeer by tricking Britain and France into war… only D'artagan (Justin Chambers) and the beautiful Francesca (Mena Survari) stand in his way.
At the behest of his father (Chris Lines), young d'Artagnan (Matt Ingram-Jones) travels from rural Gascony to Paris, where he becomes embroiled in a devious plot between the King's Musketeers and the Guardsmen of Cardinal Richelieu.
Romance, action, betrayal, suspense - this timeless BBC adaptation of 'The Three Musketeers' has it all. In 1620s France, the young, poor and unfailingly ambitious d'Artagnan (Joss Ackland) leaves his humble village and treks to Paris on a quest to join the Musketeers of the Guard. At first, he's ridiculed, abused, and scorned - but after he impresses the three highest-esteemed musketeers in the land, they take him under their wing. With Porthos (Brian Blessed), Athos (Jeremy Young), and Aramis (John Woodvine) at his side, d'Artagnan sharpens his skills as a swordsman and, more often than not, is forced to put them to the test. The gang becomes entangled in a web of lies, love, violence and deceit among the French royalty, treacherous territory where even one wrong move could land them in prison - or worse.
