The Bandit of Sherwood Forest 1948 Original Lobby Card Cornel Wilde, Anita Louise, Jill Esmond and Edgar Buchanan - VG Condition "Bandit of Sherwood Forest" is a 1946 adventure film directed by Henry Levin and George Sherman. It stars Cornel Wilde in the lead role as Robert of Nottingham, the son of the legendary Robin Hood. The movie follows Robert as he takes up his father's mantle and fights against a corrupt regent who has taken control of England during King Richard's absence. The story is set in 12th-century England, where Robert's father, Robin Hood, has been captured and imprisoned by the regent, Sir Roger of Doncaster (played by Henry Daniell). Robert, along with his loyal band of Merry Men, takes refuge in Sherwood Forest and carries on his father's mission to protect the poor and oppressed. As Robert assumes the identity of Robin Hood, he confronts Sir Roger's tyranny and seeks to unite the people of England against the regent's rule. Along the way, he encounters Lady Catherine Maitland (played by Anita Louise), a noblewoman who becomes an ally in his quest. The film features daring sword fights, thrilling archery competitions, and Robin Hood's signature acts of robbing the rich to give to the poor. Robert must outsmart and outmaneuver Sir Roger and his henchmen to restore justice and bring about King Richard's return. "Bandit of Sherwood Forest" is a classic swashbuckling adventure that pays homage to the Robin Hood legend. With its exciting action sequences, memorable characters, and themes of heroism and justice, the film captures the spirit of the iconic outlaw and his fight against oppression.
