MISS ROBIN HOOD is one of those genteel, amiable kind of comedies that were so popular in the early 1950s; sadly they haven't dated too well these days and the comedy isn't really all that funny anymore. What this does benefit from is Margaret Rutherford, at her ruthless, scheming crime as a criminal kingpin (!) who persuades a mild-mannered writer (Richard Hearne, prior to his 'Mr Pastry' on-screen persona) to steal a priceless whisky formula. Seen today, this is chiefly of interest for featuring a number of future stars in minor roles. Look out for CARRY ON actors Sid James and Kenneth Connor, Ian Carmichael and even Reg Varney in various parts.
