The Son of Robin Hood

The Son of Robin Hood is a 1958 British CinemaScope adventure film directed by George Sherman, starring David Hedison and June Laverick.

Jamie delays the torture until a guard interrupts with a blue cloak dropped by Deering Hood when she went to shoot the Hawk carrying a message from the traitor lady in the priory.

Together they escape and open the gate to the secret tunnel letting Little John, Deering and some of Robin Hood's allies into the castle of Des Roches.

Little John fights with the guards and manages to lower the drawbridge to let the rest of Robin Hoods men in and the castle is secured.

Leonard Maltin called the film a "Bland forest tale";[1] whereas Sky Cinema praised "The hearty features" of George Woodbridge as a "robust Little John," though was less happy with the "somewhat rum casting" of George Coulouris as Alan A'Dale; but concluded, "Otherwise characterisation is in the best, full-blooded comic-strip tradition, as is the action, handled in highly professional style by the director.
