Miss Robin Hood

Miss Robin Hood is a 1952 British second feature ('B')[1] comedy film directed by John Guillermin and starring Margaret Rutherford and Richard Hearne.

Margaret Rutherford, playing the strange Miss Honey with a Robin Hood outfit and a hockey captain vocabulary, makes the character almost excessively grotesque, and the mild Richard Hearne might be happier in a more conventional type of comedy.

"[7] Bosley Crowther of The New York Times wrote, "Even with stalwart Margaret Rutherford playing the principal role – that of a good-natured looney – in this utterly slap-happy film, and even with several cheering flashes of tomfoolery to light the way, the whole thing is just a bit too labored – too fatuous – to be continuous fun.

Considering the infectious enthusiasm of her performance as the mischievous Miss Honey, she deserved better material than slight skirmish with a gang of crooks over a valuable whisky recipe.

"[11] Graeme Clark of the website The Spinning Image wrote, "It's all very fluffy and inconsequential, but with Patrick Campbell contributing to the script and this array of talent in front of the camera, vintage Brit comedy fans are well catered for.
