This novel is a classic? Alright, sure, whatever. It's not a very good adaptation. At least it's in colour. There's no a lot of action. This is meant to be Western influenced by I felt the greatest influence was Robin Hood.
I'm not a massive Richard Greene fan - this may be more fun if you are. As a loyal Aussie I wish Ron Randell's part was bigger - he has some pleasant dash as Greene's... mentor I guess. Someone who is already an outlaw.
They should have made Randell the villain instead of William Bishop who is dull. Randell, Greene and Bishop all look alive. Couldn't one of them had a beard or something?
Barbara Hale, a cheery actress, feels very American - they would've been better off with a more English type actor. Or maybe someone who doesn't seem so contemporary.
There isn't even a particularly memorable Charles II. There is some neat stuff around waterfalls.
