The late 1940s - early 1950s saw a boom in Robin Hood films, landing smack dab in the middle of that trend was the original 'The Prince of Thieves' that, unlike the Kevin Costner film, was based on the novel by Pierce Egan (by way of Alexandre Dumas).
While certainly not the film that set the mold for future Robin Hood adaptations, it was nonetheless a very fun film that we enjoyed watching and discussing.
