History

Historical Context

In 1976 Richard Lester revived the Robin Hood myth with Robin and Marian, starring Sean Connery and Audrey Hepburn, marking Hepburn’s return after an eight-year screen hiatus. The film’s success paved the way for anniversary re-releases, a practice echoed in 2022 when TIFF attracted record crowds and distributors scheduled weekend showings of classic Robin Hood titles. Current adaptations starring Jodie Comer and Hugh Jackman continue that legacy.
