2 out of 5 stars Poor Quality.......2007-01-22

I got this for my 7 and 10 year old boys who are really into Robin Hood now. They watched the old disney movie of Robin Hood and loved it. However, the picture in this is often very dark making it difficult to see the actors. Also the sound is very bad. Some of the plots are a little boring. But I think my kids would still be okay with watching them if it was better quality. I wanted something not so violent or fraught with sexual innuendo, which this isn't. I just wish it was easier to watch.

5 out of 5 stars Buy By The Season!.......2006-05-10

I purchased from Amazon.co.uk each of the four seasons of "The Adventures of Robin Hood" - all 143 episodes - for about $20 per season.

Digital transfer was excellent and our entire family has enjoyed the series. Packaging involved sturdy plastic cases, each containing 2 DVD's, with 8 episodes per disk. I found this a great value and wanted to recommend it to others interested in the Robin Hood series.

5 out of 5 stars The BEST heroic series of the 50's.......2006-01-20

Richard Greene lives again in Volume one of the Adventures of Robin Hood. We get 4 episodes of the series including the first episode: "The Coming of Robin Hood".

Since the complete seasons are not available in US format (you can buy them at Amazon UK) this is the best way to fill up your collection with these public domain offerings.

It is worth noting that episode #3 "The Borrowed Baby" is one of the few episodes where Richard Greene doesn't appear at all. Film fans will recognize Donald Pleasence as Prince John in the 4th episode "The Ambush" along with Edward Mullhare who you might recognize from the series "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" who appeared off and on during the series run.

All in all a first rate start to the the collection (now on Volume 10).

4 out of 5 stars Classic old TV adventure series.......2005-10-26

Some vintage episodes in this great old series from my youth. Sort of crude by today's standards, but crisp dialog, nifty plot twists, wonderful character developement and a terrific and nefarious collection of villains and rogues. Splendid entertainment for those cold, rainy weekends.
Enjoy a touch of the old days when programs like this were the thing to watch and enjoy.

3 out of 5 stars A good souvenir from my Youth.......2005-06-17

It is a good souvenir from my Youth. It is in black and white and the sound is not perfect but it always remember me the time when I was only 8 years old. If you do not know the classic series of Robin Hood, buy at least the DVD #1 to learn of Robin of Loxley is become Robin Hood.

    3 out of 5 stars Gary Cooper Hollywood Clasics #55189.......2005-08-22

    This set has Fighting Caravans, A Farewell to Arms, Meet John Doe and Stolen Jools. Fighting Caravans is a wagon train epic which is fun to watch. A Farewell to Arms is one of THE original Academy Awards nominees, back when these awards were new. Meet John Doe is a Frank Capra classic and should be in everyone's library. Stolen Jools is just a short with alot of then famous actor cameos (even if they are no longer famous now).

    And hey, for the price, you can't beet this one.

              3 out of 5 stars Great Detectives Hollywood Clasics #55199.......2005-08-22

              The 4 movies are Ellery Queen in The Mandarin Mystery; Sherlock Holmes in The Triumph of Sherlock Holmes; Ray Milland in Bulldog Drummond Escapes; and Peter Lore in Mr. Moto's Last Warning. As long as you aren't affraid of black and white movies, all but the Sherlock Holmes moive are fun. The picture on the cover has Tim Hutton, who played Ellery Queen in color TV shows. This isn't Tim Hutton.

              These movies give the viewers a look back in time. They show how movies were made, frequently showing actors who later became stars (such as Ian Fleming, author of the James Bond series of books). They also demonstrate the societal fears of the time (such as Japan's and Germany's rising power in the 1930's).

              And hey, for the price you're paying, well worth the payoff of some 4+ hours of viewing.
